Appeal of Township of Muskoka Lakes Official Plan

VIDEO HEARING - Wednesday, Sept 11, 2024,  @ 10:00 a.m.

As reported earlier this year, the Township of Muskoka Lakes new Official Plan (OP) is under appeal. Of prime importance to Skeleton Lake cottagers and residents is "Section K - Aggregates" which is being appealed by Frank & Elizabeth Lippa and Miller Paving Ltd.  

The appellants are seeking to overturn important safeguards the township has written into the new OP that keep new pits & quarries a safe distance from our lakes.

The Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) will hold its second Case Management Conference (CMC) this coming Wednesday Sept 11, starting at 10:00 a.m. by Video Hearing.

Members are strongly encouraged to participate in this hearing by clicking on the link below.  Our strength is in our numbers and it's very important to our case to make sure the OLT knows there is overwhelming community support in keeping these OP policies in place that protect our lake.

Skeleton Lake Cottagers Organization (SLCO) has been granted Party Status and our solicitor, David Donnelly, will be speaking on our behalf.
