Welcome to Lanark County
Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario

Generations of residents and visitors have built a strong community spirit that has cultivated small business, events and festivals that speak to our ancestral and geological heritage.

Geographically, Lanark County is a remarkably distinct region within the Frontenac Axis where the Canadian Shield meets the Limestone Plains. This presents a combination of ecological features that offer an especially diverse growth area for native plant species which attract a variety of birds and wildlife. Residents and visitors enjoy cycling and paddling through these breathtaking natural vistas.

As the Maple Syrup capital of Ontario, our concentration of sugar maple trees creates a dramatic display of fall colours. Visitors from all over the world enjoy this authentic Canadian experience.

Only minutes from the Nation’s Capital, people of the region have access to all the world-class amenities of a major centre. At the same time, they enjoy the relaxed lakeside lifestyle.

Lanark County is a world heritage destination!

Planning for Sustainability in Lanark County

We invite you to visit the project web page for Lanark County’s ICSOP or Integrated Community Sustainability Official Plan. We want you to join the conversation and help us develop made in Lanark solutions which will help us make better sustainable land use planning and development decisions for the next 20 years.

This web page is designed to provide every Lanark County resident and visitor with an opportunity to review the ICSOP project as it moves forward and to contribute ideas and comments or to ask questions to elected officials and the consulting team.

We also invite you to complete a short survey by following the “Questionnaire” link on the right of the ICSOP page and to submit your email address in the area marked “Email Subscription”. This will allow you to receive a notification of changes to this website and to follow our progress as we move forward in the weeks and months to come.

On behalf of County Council I wish to thank all of you who take the time to provide your thoughts and vision for Lanark County as we move forward on “Local Priorities for a Sustainable County”. With all of us working together I have no doubt that Lanark County will continue to exemplify our motto “What a Life”.
