The Township of North Kawartha is advising residents that a winter storm system is expected to affect our region on Friday, February 20, 2026, bringing a mix of wintry precipitation including snow and the potential for ice pellets, as the system moves through southern and eastern Ontario.

The Township of North Kawartha has lowered flags at all municipal facilities to half-mast in recognition of the victims of the tragic mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, which occurred on February 10, 2026.

Flags will remain at half-mast until sunset on February 17, 2026, at which time they will be returned to full mast in accordance with the federal directive.

The Township extends its condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this tragedy.
