Few towns the size of Kirkland Lake can offer the amenities, services and general quality of life that you’ll find here. Some of the reasons people move here and never leave:
- Great quality of life, including a tremendous opportunities
to enjoy outdoor sports and adventure as well as arts and entertainment.
- Incredible natural and man-made attractions. You can enjoy the
crystal clear waters of our abundant lakes; camp out under the
northern skies, fish and hunt. Or if the fancy strikes you, you
can visit local libraries and museums or take in performances,
foreign films, local crafts, etc.
- Excellent life long learning opportunities: Northern College
of Applied Arts and Technology offers diploma and certificate
courses in a range of disciplines. For the family, there is JSANO
School of the Arts: an annual program offering some of the best
art instruction in the province.
- Great tourism activities, including the annual Mush for Gold
Dog Sled Races, summer festivals, winter carnival, and so much
more!
KL is also one of the best places to raise a family:
- A low cost of living: the average annual income is about $41,370.
Yet most residents own their own homes, have summer cottages,
travel, study …..and just plain enjoy life!
- Affordable housing: the average price of a four bedroom, post-1980
home (1˝ bathrooms, fireplace) begins at $90,000.
- Excellent health and well being amenities, including a full
service medical clinic and 62 bed, modern hospital, and two care
for aged homes.
- Safe and secure: KL is a family oriented town. Violent or serious
crimes are rare.

golf, special interest courses and clubs.
