Vandalism at Ken Reid is beyond frustrating. A sign was stolen & the Marsh Boardwalk damaged, now closed again. This senseless act costs ALL of us time, money & enjoyment. If you know/see anything, contact us. We all need to do better. #KawarthaLakes

When you see @CBCQueensPark getting ready for a stand up outside @klpsmedia in @kawarthalakes you know it's a big story, with far reaching implications. If you get the chance Mike, come back and cover some good stuff too. Lots of great things happening in Kawartha Lakes too.

Effective immediately, a Total Burn Ban is in effect across City of Kawartha Lakes, due to the ongoing lack of precipitation and extremely dry conditions. The total burn ban applies to all open-air burning, including brush piles, campfires, burn barrels, and recreational fires.

Heartbroken to share that my friend and former colleague Steve Gallagher has passed away at 52. A brilliant journalist, a kind soul, and one of the best of us. He faced ALS with grace and leaves behind a wife and young daughter. He will be deeply missed.
