The Kirkland Lake Song

Not every community can claim to have its own theme song, but the Kirkland Lake Song was composed in the town’s early days.

The local Interlink Choir, made up of seniors and children from the community, performed a version of the song using only the chorus during their 2010 concert at the Northern College Auditorium.

Kirkland Lake Song

There’s a town away up north of Cobalt

That is world famous for its gold.

The spirit there is just the same, I’ll tell you,

As when men discovered it in days of old.

Chorus:

Well! What do you know

We’re from Kirkland Lake

We’re the Boys

And we’re the Girls

Who always give and take;

It’s a real town, a gold town

We’re in it with a stake,

We come from near

We come from far

To good old Kirkland Lake.

Now we think a lot of Cobalt

And Porcupine is great,

But here’s to the pride of the

Whole wide North –

Here’s to Kirkland Lake!
