This map includes what to see and do with dates and locations of events and activities going on throughout the seasons.
Within the next few weeks, the Kawartha Seasons distribution of 80,000 will begin throughout Ontario and a number of U.S. border states with the intention of promoting Kawartha Lakes as a preferred destination for a short visit, a long stay or a permanent relocation. Over 35,000 will be distributed in and around Kawartha Lakes, including one delivered directly to every Kawartha Lakes’ household. An additional 30,000 will be distributed throughout the GTA and the 401 corridor at tourist information centres and CAA locations.
