Langmaid's Island development proposal
As we have previously informed you, an application for a Plan of Subdivision containing 36 lots on the Langmaid's Island property was submitted to the District of Muskoka and Township of Lake of Bays. It has been deemed complete and is available for public review on the Township website - click here . 

In response to a call for comments, LOBA submitted this letter to the Township and District. There will be further opportunities for comment on this application and we will keep you informed regarding any public meetings. If you wish to comment, please direct your letters to  Melissa Halford  at the District and  Melissa Markham  at  the Township. 

While the island property is in the Township of Lake of Bays, the mainland access points are in the portion of South Portage Road that lies within the boundaries of Huntsville. Applications for two mainland access properties have been received by the Town of Huntsville and District of Muskoka. These have been deemed complete and are available to read here.

Have you heard? Lake of Bays is rebranding!

A township's brand is more than just a logo or tagline. It communicates the distinct characteristics, unique value, and opportunities the region has to offer - and in many cases - stands as the gateway experience outsiders have with a township.

Recognizing this as an exciting opportunity for Lake of Bays, the Township of Lake of Bays will be undertaking a rebranding initiative beginning April 2018. This rebrand will rely heavily on public input to help guide its success and is an exciting opportunity for our communities to unite and shape the future of the township. It will drive investment and attraction to tourism, community development, and business activity while enhancing the connection and experience residents have with the township.

Join one of the public engagement sessions, where Township staff will consult you - residents, business owners, and community leaders - in identifying the township's core values, sources of pride, and vision for the future.
