Kawartha Lakes celebrates Recreation and Parks Month

Kawartha Lakes – Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM). JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to quality of life.

Access to parks and recreation is a fundamental human need that helps foster personal health, strong communities, and social inclusion. JRPM celebrates Ontario’s spectacular parks and recreation services and raises awareness for the role they play as a pathway to individual, community, and environmental well-being.

Kawartha Lakes Parks and Recreation is excited to offer several free programs for all ages, throughout the month of June. Get energized and join us for a swim or skate! Leave your legacy on the court in a match of badminton or squash! Become a game changer and unite your friends for a game of shinny!

To learn more about what Kawartha Lakes is doing to celebrate JRPM, please visit our Kawartha Lakes Online Program Registration website.

Space is limited, pre-registration is recommended for all programs. If you require alternative registration options, please call us at 705-324-9112 or email our Parks and Recreation Staff.
