Political Action Group

The Plan

• Coordination with District and Town governments and other associations (including FOCA) on major policy initiatives that affect the lakes (e.g., boating activity, speed limits, watercraft safety, environmental management, heritage protection).
• Monitor District of Muskoka Planning Activities related to:
• Water Quality; and
• Natural and Built Heritage Policies.

• Encourage the Town of Gravenhurst to accept land as part of its 5% parkland dedication process to add to the inventory of public lands on the lake.
• Such lands would remain as conservation lands and could include lands with environmental significance (wetlands, etc); and
• Such lands could eventually be added to the Land Trust inventory.

• Work with the Town to develop the criteria for accepting lands for parkland dedication.
• Work with the Town to restrict the uses of pesticides and herbicides.
