The Ontario government extended its state of emergency declaration amid the coronavirus pandemic until June 2 and now the City of Kawartha Lakes is doing the same.
The municipality is doing it as a precautionary measure. “I would think on June 2, if the trends continue, we’ll make a decision at that time regardless of what the province does whether we want to continue,” said Mayor Andy Letham. “What that does locally, if something pops up, it allows us to put local orders in place if we have to.” We're starting to open public boat launches across the municipality this Thursday, May 14.
You can launch your boats in groups of less than five and while maintaining a physical distance of at least 6 feet from each other.
