Thank you! On behalf of Muskoka District Council and The District Municipality of Muskoka, we thank you for participating in the June 5th Housing Forum and Task Force meeting.  We recognize the hustle and bustle of everyone's schedule - especially at this time of year. Thank you for finding the time in your calendar to participate and engage in a network of dedicated individuals working together to better housing throughout Muskoka.

The networking that took place at the Port Carling Community Centre June 5th will open doors to creative concepts, new partnerships and Muskoka solutions that can truly make a difference in the housing landscape across the Muskoka community. This momentum and focus on housing as a Muskoka priority needs to continue. We are looking forward to further establishing the Muskoka Housing Task Force to not only strengthen existing relationships, but to build new relationships in efforts of promoting strategies and opportunities for a range of housing options across Muskoka. Below you will find follow-up information to the Muskoka Housing Forum and next steps for the Muskoka Housing Task Force including a registration link to the July 11th meeting of the Task Force .
