COVID-19 Notice

The Township of North Kawartha is taking actions to help protect the health of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit our COVID-19 page to stay informed of closures/changes to Township services, amenities, and programs. The Township is gradually re-opening the North Kawartha, Wilson Park, and Glen Alda Community Centres, in compliance with Provincial Government orders, and Peterborough Public Health recommendations. 

Face coverings/masks must be worn, in accordance with the Peterborough Public Health directives when entering Municipal Buildings, and use hand-sanitizer provided at the entrances. Please review our screening poster upon entering, and do not attend any Municipal Buildings if you are sick or have any symptoms.

Programs and/or services at the Community Centres will gradually resume beginning September 14th. The planned opening of The Fitness Centre is September 21st, and the NKCC ice surface September 28th or October 5th. Please note: although planned, these are tentative dates, based on a staggered opening approach.  

North Kawartha Outdoor Sports and Recreational Amenities are open (with restrictions). Individuals are not permitted to play organized team sports, even on fields intended for this purpose, unless they are members of the same household or social circle. Chandos and Quarry Bay beaches are open with portable toilets, the change rooms are closed.

If any amenities are busy, please come back another time, do not overcrowd. Individuals who use the opened amenities are required to physically distance (stay 2 metres or 6 feet apart), unless they are members of the same household or social circle. In unsupervised areas, User Assumes All Risks and Liability.

There are many community and special interest groups to choose from in North Kawartha, however, in consideration of all the closures/restrictions mentioned above, many of events and groups listed here are temporarily suspended. Please contact the individual organizers for current information.
