Compass Early Learning and Care Bringing New Outdoor-Focused Child Care Program to Apsley

APSLEY, ONTARIO — Compass Early Learning and Care is excited to announce the upcoming Compass Early Learning and Care – Apsley Outdoor program, a new early learning and care program in the heart of Apsley, Ontario.

The Township of North Kawartha, in consultation with Peterborough County, advises residents, businesses, and visitors of upcoming construction activities related to the development of a new asphalt parking lot at 143 Burleigh Street, Apsley. 

Construction is scheduled to begin during the week of October 5, 2026, and is anticipated to continue until November 30, 2026, weather permitting. 

During construction, motorists should expect single-lane road restrictions in the area of the construction project, which may result in temporary traffic delays. Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly and exercise caution when travelling through the construction zone.

For the latest road and construction updates, please visit Municipal511 at www.municipal511.ca.

The Township of North Kawartha thanks residents, businesses, and visitors for their patience and cooperation while this important improvement project is completed.

The Township is exploring options for public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to support residents, seasonal property owners, visitors, and local businesses. Your feedback will help us determine:

• Where stations should be located
•  What type of chargers are most needed
•  How often they would be used
•  How EV charging could support local businesses and tourism
• Whether you own an EV or not, your input matters!

The survey takes about 5 minutes and will help guide North Kawartha Council’s decisions on future EV infrastructure, partnerships, and funding opportunities.

Let’s work together to build a greener, more connected North Kawartha!
