Your Voice in Muskoka’s Future
Our Muskoka is a group comprised of business owners and residents who want to have input into the development and implementation of the Township of Muskoka Lakes and the neighbouring Township’s planning policies. Our objective is to ensure that all perspectives are represented and that there is a balanced approach to managing development.
