Connecting Community, Nature and Spirit

The Township of North Kawartha supports a healthy community with a lifestyle and economy that sustains the natural environment and heritage of North Kawartha.

The Township of North Kawartha is a municipal government, comprised of the former municipalities of Burleigh-Anstruther and Chandos, providing services to a population of approximately 2,877 year round residents and 12,000 seasonal residents for a total population of approximately 14,877 residents.

North Kawartha is located midway between the City of Peterborough and the Town of Bancroft, which both offer all the amenities of larger urban centres. Within the Township are smaller urbanized areas such as the village of Apsley, and the hamlets of Big Cedar, Burleigh Falls, Glen Alda, Mount Julian, Stoneyridge and Woodview.

Today, many cottagers have become permanent residents, contributing year-round to the recreational and cultural activities that enrich community life.
