Summary Information:
The Curve Lake First Nation lies in the Kawartha Lakes Region, on a peninsula between Chemong and Buckhorn Lakes. The land was first settled in 1882, and was declared a reserve in 1889.

  • Health, which provides a holistic approach to services based on Anishnaabe values;
  • Economic development, including a small business loan fund and support to the economic development of the Nation;
  • Capital projects, and the maintenance of all First Nations owned property, waste reduction, landfill and public works;
  • Membership, including the issuing of status cards, registering briths, marriages and deaths; and
  • Lands, including the co-management, with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, of the administration of all reserve lands.
