Welcome to Life in the Kawarthas. We live here.
Welcome to the editorial section of kawarthaNOW.com! Our focus and slogan is “We live here”. Our editorial content celebrates The Kawarthas — our food and wine, our people, our music, our arts, and our beautiful landscape and waterways. You’ll always find a great profile, upcoming event, or new thing to see and do in the five counties that we cover.
