Kawarthas
The region of the Kawarthas is often characterized by its link to the Trent Severn Waterway, a system of locks and dams that connect Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario and runs through many of the water bodies in the area. It is an area known for its diversity of fish and wetland species as well as being the location of Rice Lake, one of the most productive freshwater lakes in Canada. Local, municipal government is an important point of contact for many rural, waterfront issues. FOCA has compiled a comprehensive list of municipal contact information for your area which can be found in the Municipal Contacts link at left; these documents are searchable.
This region has approximately 90 FOCA member associations.
