Kawartha Lakes (2021 population: 79,247[2]) is a single-tier municipality in Central Ontario, Canada. Though structured as a single-tier municipality, Kawartha Lakes is the size of a typical Ontario county and is mostly rural. It is the second largest single-tier municipality in Ontario by land area (after Greater Sudbury).

The main population centres are the communities of Lindsay (population: 22,367), Bobcaygeon (population: 3,576), Fenelon Falls (population: 2,490), Omemee (population: 1,060) and Woodville (population: 718).

## History

[edit]

The Kawartha Lakes area is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Huron-Wendat and more recently, the Haudenosaunee peoples.[3] The city's name is from the Kawartha Lakes. Kawartha is an anglicization of Ka-wa-tha (from Ka-wa-tae-gum-maug or Gaa-waategamaag), which was coined in 1895 by Martha Whetung of the Curve Lake First Nations. It meant "land of reflections" in the Anishinaabe language, according to Whetung. The word was later changed by tourism promoters to Kawartha, meaning "bright waters and happy lands."[4]

Prior to its restructuring as a city, the area was known as Victoria County. The city was created in 2001, during the ruling provincial Progressive Conservative party's "Common Sense Revolution". Through provincial legislation, the former Victoria County and its constituent municipalities were amalgamated into one entity named the City of Kawartha Lakes.

This act was implemented by the Victoria County Restructuring Commission, led by commissioner Harry Kitchen.[5] Despite a general opposition from residents of the area, the provincial government pushed forward with the amalgamation,[6][7] which officially came into effect on January 1, 2001.

By a narrow margin (51% for, 49% against), the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in a November 2003 local plebiscite, but the provincial and municipal governments have not taken any steps since the vote to initiate de-amalgamation.[7]

## Victoria County

[edit]

Main article: Victoria County, Ontario

Prior to 2001, Victoria County consisted of 13 separate townships and 6 incorporated communities, each with their own local governments:[23]

### Townships

[edit]

Incorporated Township Name (Population centres):

* Bexley (Victoria Road, Coboconk)
* Carden (Dalrymple)
* Dalton (Sebright, Uphill, Sadowa)
* Eldon (Glenarm, Kirkfield, Woodville)
* Emily (Omemee, Downeyville, Fowlers Corners)
* Fenelon (Cameron, Cambray, Powles Corners)
* Laxton, Digby and Longford (Uphill, Norland)
* Longford (largely uninhabited)
* Manvers (Janetville, Bethany, Pontypool)
* Mariposa (Oakwood, Little Britain, Manilla)
* Ops (Reaboro)
* Somerville (Coboconk, Kinmount)
* Verulam (Dunsford, Bobcaygeon)

The township of Laxton, Digby and Longford is an amalgamation of the once individual townships of Digby and Laxton, and half of the original Longford Township. The separate township of Longford is uninhabited, though dotted with abandoned logging towns. In 2000, just prior to amalgamation into the city of Kawartha Lakes, the township of Verulam and the village of Bobcaygeon were amalgamated into the Municipality of Bobcaygeon/Verulam, and the separate townships of Carden and Dalton amalgamated into the Township of Carden/Dalton.[24]

### Incorporated communities

[edit]

* Town of Lindsay
* Village of Bobcaygeon
* Village of Fenelon Falls
* Village of Omemee
* Village of Sturgeon Point
* Village of Woodville

## Transportation

[edit]

### Air transportation

[edit]

Kawartha Lakes Municipal Airport, a Transport Canada certified airport, has 24-hour radio operated lighting and provides access to key points throughout Ontario. Kawartha Lakes Municipal Airport is located one nautical mile west north west of Lindsay. It offers a card lock fuel system and can be used by both private and commercial airplanes.

### Water transportation

[edit]

Towns and villages in Kawartha Lakes are interconnected by rivers, lakes and streams that can be best navigated May to October. The Trent-Severn Waterway, which extends from Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay in the north, is part of the waterways in Kawartha Lakes. Five locks, Bobcaygeon 32, Lindsay 33, Fenelon Falls 34, Rosedale 35, and Kirkfield 36 are part of the Trent-Severn National Historic site and operated by Parks Canada. Coboconk is noted as being Canada's fresh water summit with waters flowing two different directions. It is the highest navigable point in Canada from which it is possible to reach the world. There are no water taxis operating in Kawartha Lakes. Boat and houseboat rentals are available.

### Land transportation

[edit]

The following King's Highways pass through the city:

* Highway 7, part of the Trans-Canada Highway
* Highway 7A
* Highway 35
* Highway 115

The following multi-use trails pass through the city:

* Lindsay-Peterborough (east-west) rail line, part of the Trans Canada Trail
* Bethany-Haliburton (north-south) rail line, known as the Victoria Rail Trail [25]

### Public transportation

[edit]

Because of the largely rural composition of the City of Kawartha Lakes, public transportation is very limited. Kawartha Lakes has public bus transit in the town of Lindsay only (known as Lindsay Transit), running four lines of hourly service Monday to Saturday from 7am to 7pm, and Sunday from 9am to 4pm (except holidays).[26]

On June 21, 2015 a pilot project rural bus route serving part of City of Kawartha Lakes ended service. The rural bus stopped in Lindsay, Dunsford, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, and Cameron.[27]

Most school children are bussed to elementary and high school.

#### Bus companies

[edit]

TOK Coachlines (formerly called CanAr Bus Lines) offers service between Toronto and Haliburton with several stops in City of Kawartha Lakes, however this service will be discontinued on January 31, 2024.[28]

### Train routes

[edit]

The last Canadian National Railway (CN) train to run through City of Kawartha Lakes was on the Lindsay - Uxbridge line which ceased operation in 1990.[29] The last passenger train to run through the City of Kawartha Lakes was No. 189 with Budd Car VIA 6104 from Havelock to Toronto Union Station over Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) lines on January 14, 1990.[30]

CP freight trains continue to operate through the City of Kawartha Lakes on the Havelock Subdivision (MP 133.23 - MP 143.22) which passes through Pontypool (MP 139.1)[31]

High-level discussions organized by the Shining Waters Railway continue about returning passenger rail-service to the Midtown Toronto to Havelock line with a stop in Pontypool.[32]

The Trans Canada Trail which is situated on the old rail line from Uxbridge, continues to be a possibility for commuter service to Toronto and Pearson Airport, from the Highway 7 bridge via Uxbridge and the GO Transit Stouffville Line.

#### Taxi services

[edit]

There are several private taxi services in Kawartha Lakes licensed by the local government.

#### Car/van pools

[edit]

Several businesses and organizations offer car and van pooling through Car Pool World including Sir Sandford Fleming College.[33]
