Message from your Council As we enter the much-anticipated summer season, we’re pleased to share an update on the direction we’re headed. You can read more in our newly adopted Kawartha Lakes Strategic Plan 2024 to 2027 at www.kawarthalakes.ca/strategicplan. Thank you for being involved in the creation of this important document. We’re committed to approving 6,500 new housing units by 2031 and we’re well on the way. In 2023, we approved 431 units and this year we’re targeting 542 units. To support new and current residents, we’re working with other levels of government to ensure health, education, child care, transportation and other services are in place for what will soon be double the current population in Lindsay.

Council has committed to an organics waste collection program (green bin) as part of our commitment to a healthy environment. This will roll out in Lindsay in 2025 and will make a significant difference to the amount of waste we divert from landfill. Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and Omemee may also be included, cost permitting, stay tuned.
