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 taking a cautious, "staggered approach" to re-opening the North Kawartha, Wilson Park, and Glen Alda Community Centres, to ensure public safety, and in compliance with Provincial Government orders, and Peterborough Public Health recommendations.

Programs and/or services at the Community Centres gradually resumed (with restrictions), beginning September 14th. The Fitness Centre opened September 28th, and the NKCC ice surface on October 2nd. Other programming continues to be gradually implemented.

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.

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.

Beyond this page, you will find additional information and listings on the following pages: Area Attractions, Community Calendar, Community Centre Events and Activities - Recurring, Recreation Programs, Special Events and in the North Kawartha Directory.
