Current Issues

The MLA is constantly keeping our members informed with current issues in Muskoka. Responsible development, responsive government and decisions and activities of municipal governments and how they may impact our members, are of our highest concern.

We monitor and identify land use activities, especially those that have precedent setting implications.

MLA NewsBites November 2024

Welcome to the November Edition of NewsBites

Volunteers continue to work tirelessly even through the fall, advocating on key issues important to people who live, work on and enjoy the Muskoka lakes. Some of these issues include budgets input, development, progress on the Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw for Muskoka Lakes and following the MAHC hospital developments on our website.

If you read your November NewsBites and think you know another family that would like to know more about what’s happening in Muskoka-Parry Sound, please forward this email and encourage them to take out a Muskoka Lakes Membership to help us preserve Muskoka for all generations. If you attract a new membership, you will receive your 2025 membership for free and your friends will find it a great way to stay informed!
