KAWARTHALAKES.NET
Promote your business on the web with an exclusive online marketing offer for members. Improvements to the site now allow lodging, dining, retail & services, and attractions members to advertise on the site via the Business/Tourism Spotlight database. For only $125.00 + GST you can have a standard ad (see example at the bottom of the page) on the site for a period of one year. Not only is this a great advertising opportunity but it also helps support the site and allows for continuing improvements, which promotes tourism throughout the Kawartha Lakes Region. Call Scott at the Eastern Region Chamber office in Lakefield at 705-652-6963 for further details.

GOLF TOURNAMENT:
We are considering the possibility of holding a golf tournament in the spring, so we would like to see how many of our members would be interested in participating in such an event. Please call us at 738-2202 or email us to let us know if you would like to play and if you would prefer 9 or 18 holes.
