 The Township of Scugog is located approximately 65 kilometres northeast of Metropolitan Toronto. It is situated on and around the shores of Lake Scugog which is one of Southern Ontario's largest bodies of water. This combined with the scenic gently rolling countryside, the thriving commercial and business centre of Port Perry and several smaller villages such as Blackstock and Greenbank provides for a wide range of lifestyle and business opportunities. The Township is made up of what used to be four distinct municipalities: the Village of Port Perry and the Townships of Cartwright, Reach, and Scugog (Scugog Island). The Township of Scugog is one of eight municipalities forming the Region of Durham.
Durham Region is responsible for police protection, waste transfer and landfill sites, sewer and water services, overall planning, social services and economic development for the region.
Scugog's Municipal Government, located in Port Perry administers such local matters as fire protection, planning and development, economic development, tax collection, waste collection, recreation services, municipal by-laws, library services and the maintenance of over 400 kilometres of roads.
