MUSKOKA LAKES ASSOCIATION SAYS NO TO PROPOSED CLIFF BAY DEVELOPMENT
The Muskoka Lakes Association (MLA) urges Gravenhurst Council and the Ontario government not to approve the massive development as proposed by Cliff Bay Muskoka Corp., part of the KS Group of Companies, in Cliff Bay, Lake Muskoka. The plans include thirty-three villas and two restaurants in the lake, up to ten six-storey buildings, three hotels, almost 1,400 units and 80 boat slips as well as minimal proposed setbacks, public parkland or protection for existing trees. | MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD:

This will endanger water quality, the environment and fundamentally alter the character of the South Muskoka area, says MLA president Ken Pearce.
“Visitors come to Muskoka to experience the beauty, clean air and waters and quiet. This proposal will destroy the ‘view from the canoe’ and enjoyment of the lake,” says Pearce. “The Province should require resort development that is in keeping with the character of Muskoka. We support responsible development, not overdevelopment.”
