MUSKOKA NEEDS YOU!! Call for Candidates
Several councillors and mayors have made the difficult decision not to run again in the Muskoka municipal election in October. Now, more than ever, Muskoka faces threats from irresponsible development that threaten our lakes and our experience of Muskoka now and for future generations.

We need you!
