The citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in November, 2003 into the former towns, villages, and townships of the former County of Victoria, but it might be years before de-amalgamation is complete, if it happens at all. The newly elected city government has declared that there will NOT be de-amalgamation.
