Following weeks of planning, the City of Kawartha Lakes is now taking a hard look at recovery from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
It has two recovery task forces: the economic recovery task force and the community pandemic recovery task force. On the economic recovery side, the group, which includes the mayor, members of council and appointed community members, is tasked with helping the business community recover.
In early May, the economic development team conducted two surveys. One was considered to be scientific and focused on 179 local businesses in specific sectors, while the other was an online survey that was open to any business in the municipality.
