[edit] 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.
