Kawartha Lakes – Parks and recreation facilities and programs are essential to enhancing quality of life and building vibrant, healthy communities. The City of Kawartha Lakes has developed a draft Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan to guide the delivery of recreational services over the next 15 years. 

We're excited to announce that all our parks (except ones under redevelopment/construction) have been cleaned up from the significant 2025 Ice Storm damage. These spaces are now back up and running and have been given the clear for all to enjoy!

Please be advised: There will be temporary service disruptions at the Lindsay Recreation Complex, which will restrict elevator access to Pad 1 and the Community Room viewing areas due to private events happening on the following dates and times:

Kawartha Lakes – Prep work has started for the Colborne Street West road widening project. Hydro One has been moving hydro poles and local internet providers are moving their infrastructure in the area as well.

The road widening contract has been awarded and the contractor began mobilizing equipment and signage in the area during the week of July 14.

Kawartha Lakes – The City of Kawartha Lakes is asking residents and visitors to reduce non-essential water use during the hot summer months. As temperatures rise, people use more water, which puts extra pressure on our municipal drinking water systems.

City of Kawartha Lakes — The Kawartha Lakes Haliburton Ontario Health Team (KLH-OHT), in collaboration with Kawartha North Family Health Team is going to receive over $3.4 million from the Ministry of Health to expand interprofessional primary health care teams. Our local plan will help to connect up to 6,902 people to primary care in the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County. This investment is part of the government’s $2.1 billion Primary Care Action Plan that will help connect 300,000 people to primary care this year.

Kawartha Lakes – Summer just got a whole lot brighter in Kawartha Lakes! The 2025 Summer Company Program is back and ready to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit of youth across the region. With a perfect blend of fun, learning, and real-world business experience, this year’s program promises to be bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever!

Please be advised: There will be temporary service disruptions at the Lindsay Recreation Complex, which will restrict elevator access to Pad 1 and the Community Room viewing areas due to private events happening on the following dates and times:

The municipality would like to extend its sincere thanks to residents for their patience and understanding as we worked to resolve the July 4 emergency mechanical issue that resulted in discoloured water for some residents on the Lindsay municipal drinking water system.
