The "Fenelon Falls Gazette" was the weekly community newspaper in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, Canada. It was established in 1873 by E.D. Hand. [ [http://www.ontariogenealogy.com/Victoria/fenelonh.html Fenelon History ] ] Ownership changed hands many times over the years, until it was purchased along with then owner, Citizens Communication Group in 2000 by Metroland Publishing.

The "Gazette" covered everything from community events, school issues [ [http://www.tldsb.on.ca/Schools/FFSS/quilt/may14ed.htm x:( F.F.S.S. - "It takes a village to educate a child" ):x ] ] & family milestones to local crimes and tragedies. During ownership by Citizens Communication Group (CCG), the Fenelon and Bobcaygeon news teams worked closely together, and from time to time, some stories of general interest would run simultaneously in the Gazette and its sister paper, the "Bobcaygeon Independent". During ownership by Metroland Publishing, a similar news style was used with common pages in both Fenelon and Bobcaygeon papers, and the "Lindsay This Week" newspaper.

The paper was officially incorporated into "Kawartha Lakes This Week" in late 2004 in keeping with the amalgamation of Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon into the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Today, back issues are available at the Fenelon Falls Public Library for viewing on Microfiche, as far back as the first issue in 1873. [ [http://www.kawartha.net/~fencom/library.htm Fenelon Falls Public Library ] ]
