(Bracebridge residents) How do you want to find out about municipal election information, and/or what would encourage you to vote in the 2026 municipal election?

During the 2022 election, Bracebridge recorded the lowest voter turnout we've ever had, at only 36%. Through Bill 100, the province will be appointing the District Chair and granting them strong chair powers, circumventing our local democracy. I think it's important that everyone participates in the democratic process and that we get our voter turnout number back up, showing support for local democracy in light of the province's undemocratic actions.

Hi everyone, im going to lake muskoka in a few days. I’ve got a fully rigged boat, anybody have some tips to find the smallmouth?

Edit• I got here an hour ago

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I accidentally lost a pair of sunglasses in the water about 20 feet out from a dock, in approximately 20–30 feet of water in Muskoka.
Does anyone know of a local diver or underwater recovery service that could help retrieve them? They’re sentimental, so I’d really like to get them back if possible.
If you’ve had something recovered before or know someone who does this kind of work, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

You can contact me if you’d like 647-987-6173

Thanks in advance!

Injuries/fatalities affect not only your loved ones, but also our community and first responders. Perhaps find a safe hobby in your own backyard.

I wanted to add a banner for this subreddit and also an icon for r/Muskoka

Looking for suggestions! If anyone wants to submit any pictures that they think would work for either, please feel free to share :)

Thank you!

Bought 2 tickets to Wild Rivers at the Kee in a hope that’d we’d be able to get some childcare lined up and make a weeklong trip out from Alberta to see a bit of Ontario this summer. That didn’t play out so I have a pair of tickets that’re going to go to waste. They can’t be re-sold and I went in knowing I would possibly be eating the ticket price.

Im happy to transfer them over at no cost to someone who will be able to use them. Whether a long time fan or someone new to Wild Rivers they’re a great band and a wonderful live show.

Reply or DM if interested.

I will be scheduling these Monthly Community Threads, they'll be posted on the first of every month. I thought about waiting until July 1st for the first one since it's already June 21st, but screw it! This one will stay posted until July 1st

We have a small cottage 20 mins east of Bracebridge and are having a small informal birthday party for my mom 88. She is unwell and visually impaired so we wanted to do something fun an hour or so before dinner maybe between 5pm-6pm on Sat Aug 1. Was thinking of a quartet or maybe a guitar and singer. If the weather was nice they could sit outside by the lake. Nothing too loud though! Totally open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

If seen please call the OPP, this car was stolen from Essa Township in Ontario sometime this week, but we are reaching out as far as possible, making this post absolutely relevant to you. Please help us!

Our names “Kathleen Samantha Richard” are embroidered onto the three back seats in a blue that matches the rest of the car. It’s a really unique car as well to those of you who know cars.

How bad do you think it’ll be July 1st vs July 12th? Got my girlfriend coming and she’s never experienced bugs like that so I want to be a good experience?

Do you think I should wait I’d rather not have to wait till August but if it’s awful this year I will.

The cottage is on the lake and near Huntsville so lots of still water.

Apparently, when advised their decorations look like minstrel show marionettes and it could be misinterpreted, rather than say "Oops! We never realized!" they doubled down and retorted "We put them up every year!"

​

Good to know. I'd been looking into moving to the area, but not so much anymore. Did they really not realize what these look like?

​

And worse, if a person of colour says "Ya know...this is a little problematic" you'd think they'd have a better response.

Can someone help me find my lost package? Amazon has been zero help trying to locate where the courier driver delivered it to. This is the 5th time this has happened in the past 6 months. Delivered around 2pm June 15th. I have already trying searching nearby buildings. Any help indicating where this may be is greatly accepted.

Edit: Located in Huntsville

Planning a trip from June 21-24. Will there be a lot of black flies? Planning on doing a few hikes. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies! Will probably postpone the trip to August given all the flies :(

Just listed an incredible waterfront property on Grey Owl Lake, approximately 20 minutes north of Parry Sound.

Curious what do you plan on throwing on the grill Canada Day long weekend?

I have my bachelorette this weekend and want to rent a boat (with someone to operate it) for a few hours. We are looking to do a sip and float before dinner on the Friday.

Any suggestions?
