Kawartha Lakes Bible College (KLBC)[1] is a defunct evangelical Bible college that was located in Peterborough, Ontario from 1973 to 2005. By 2007, the small site had become a detoxification centre,[2] and by 2021 it had become a clinic providing mental health services to military, health care and first responder personnel.[3]

KLBC closed in 2005. Emmaus Bible College has undertaken the responsibility of hosting the academic records and transcripts for Kawartha Lakes Bible College.[5]
