2021 Kawartha Lakes Business Count
The City of Kawartha Lakes is conducting the inaugural Kawartha Lakes Business Count Survey in the downtowns and industrial areas across the municipality. This survey will help the municipality better understand and strengthen the local economy, as well as inform policies and programs.
Businesses are encouraged to take part. This input is valuable and will help shape the future of our economy and community.
This project is led by the City of Kawartha Lakes in partnership with the Bobcaygeon & Area Chamber of Commerce, Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce, Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce and the Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce.

Data collection
The Business Count survey will be available online for all businesses in Kawartha Lakes to participate. A Summer Student team will be reaching out to businesses in several Kawartha Lakes downtowns and industrial areas. The survey is voluntary and collects information including the types of businesses, employment, and floor space etc. A summary report will be published in Fall 2021.
The information collected through the Kawartha Lakes Business Count will:
- Provide a snapshot of the Kawartha Lakes economy
- Provide improved regional employment and workforce data
- Assist in making informed decisions related to job and economic growth
- Enhance communication channels between businesses and the municipality
Individual business data collected through this project will not be shared publicly. Data will only be shared between the City of Kawartha Lakes and the respective Chamber of Commerce and/or BIA in the area the business is located in.
