Sponsorship Opportunities with the Muskoka Lakes Association

The Muskoka Lakes Association (MLA) is one of Canada’s oldest and most respected cottage country organizations, dedicated to protecting and enhancing the experience of life on the Muskoka Lakes. For over a century, the MLA has championed environmental stewardship, safe boating, responsible development, and strong community engagement.
