"Kawartha Lakes This Week" is a twice-weekly, community newspaper in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, that was established in 1977 under the title "Lindsay This Week". It is one of three newspapers in the Kawartha Division of Metroland Publishing, a company that owns newspapers across Ontario.

"Kawartha Lakes This Week" has a circulation reaching 29,850 homes and employs 23 people. The current publisher is Bruce Danford, the editor-in-chief is Lois Tuffin and the managing editor is Marcus Tully. Tully started with the paper as a reporter in 2001.

The paper officially changed its name from "Lindsay This Week" to "Kawartha Lakes This Week" in late 2004 in keeping with the amalgamation of the City of Kawartha Lakes.

History

After graduating from the University of Windsor Law School, Douglas Flett moved to Lindsay and practised law in the community from 1974 until 1996. In 1980, he and Don Polyschuk, then-owner of Trent Chevrolet, founded Lindsay This Week. They owned the newspaper for four years.

Metroland Publishing purchased "Lindsay This Week" in 1984. In 2000, Metroland Publishing acquired the "Fenelon Falls Gazette" and "Bobcaygeon Independent" when they purchased the Citizens Communication Group. The three editions merged in 2004 to become "Kawartha Lakes This Week" to reflect the amalgamation of the three towns (and several townships) into the City of Kawartha Lakes.
