Kawartha Lakes, Administrative municipality in Central Ontario, Canada

The city spans over 3,084 square kilometers of land, featuring 250 lakes and rivers across multiple communities including Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, and Fenelon Falls.

In 2001, Victoria County transformed into Kawartha Lakes through a political merger of multiple municipalities during Ontario's governmental reorganization.

The name originates from an Anishinaabe word meaning 'land of reflections', modified by Martha Whetung in 1895 to its current spelling.

Lindsay Transit provides bus services within the city of Lindsay from Monday to Saturday, connecting residents to essential services and shopping areas.

The region receives between 150 to 200 centimeters of snow annually, creating conditions for winter activities across its extensive territory.
