Spring arrived with a significant ice storm, but first responders and essential service providers worked tirelessly through the challenging events to provide aid and restore power. Nevertheless, media reports have made it clear that as many as 6500 seasonal cottages and trailers with access challenges may still see several weeks’ delay in regaining hydro service. This spring, the Muskoka Lakes Association has been advocating on development, carrying on discussions about the District budget, participating in the TML Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw Working Group and providing updates about water levels.
