We have some very positive news to share ...

In May the Muskoka Lakes Association filed a motion with the Tribunal to dismiss the appeals. We were notified this week the Tribunal ruled in our favour and all appeals have been dismissed. The appeals, had they been successful, would have resulted in the removal of long-standing policies protecting the unique environment of Muskoka including limits on lot coverage and a 2,000-meter buffer zone from lakes for aggregate pits and quarries.

Stop the Quarry and Protect the Lakes of Muskoka is a joint project in partnership with the Small Change Fund. The Small Change Fund acts as a catalyst for individuals and grassroots organizations. They have helped more than 270 organizations raise over $17M for projects across the country, the majority of which tackle environmental and climate-related issues.

We are focused on defending the Township of Muskoka Lakes Official Plan which restricts gravel extraction close to lakes in Muskoka.

We acknowledge that the land on which we live and play is the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat and Odawa, who called this land home before we came.  The land was the centre of their lives and spirituality. We acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages.  We commit to respectful relationships with our indigenous neighbours and we accept our responsibility to walk without harm.
