I have a 2004 Tigé 24V boat sitting winterized in a marina for the past 3 years in Muskoka as I have not been able to get there and use it. (I used to have a cottage on Lake Muskoka but sold it and after years living in California it's just harder to get back for any length of time as much as I'd love to.) The marina doesn't do used boat sales so I'm trying to find someone who sells used boats to list it. Any referrals for trustworthy used boat sales person? Thanks for your help.

I am looking for a reputable mechanic near the Bracebridge area that has some experience around classic cars.

Bonus if they have experience with the Holley Sniper system.

Would appreciate any recommendations thank you

(Bracebridge residents) How do you want to find out about municipal election information, and/or what would encourage you to vote in the 2026 municipal election?

During the 2022 election, Bracebridge recorded the lowest voter turnout we've ever had, at only 36%. Through Bill 100, the province will be appointing the District Chair and granting them strong chair powers, circumventing our local democracy. I think it's important that everyone participates in the democratic process and that we get our voter turnout number back up, showing support for local democracy in light of the province's undemocratic actions.

Hi everyone, im going to lake muskoka in a few days. I’ve got a fully rigged boat, anybody have some tips to find the smallmouth?

Edit• I got here an hour ago

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I accidentally lost a pair of sunglasses in the water about 20 feet out from a dock, in approximately 20–30 feet of water in Muskoka.
Does anyone know of a local diver or underwater recovery service that could help retrieve them? They’re sentimental, so I’d really like to get them back if possible.
If you’ve had something recovered before or know someone who does this kind of work, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

You can contact me if you’d like 647-987-6173

Thanks in advance!

There’s been almost 4 single vehicle collisions in the area and most have succumbed or are fighting for their lives. Why is this happening? Is there some maniac running people off the roads in this area? Why the sudden spike of single vehicle collisions resulting in death at this very location? This section of highway needs to be addressed in some way as every week there’s been a major accident here.

Driver error? Lighting? Animals? Roadway issue? Or something more nefarious? Something needs to be done here. How many more people have to die or become mortally wounded til the issue is addressed.

Condolences to anyone who’s been affected by these accidents.

Injuries/fatalities affect not only your loved ones, but also our community and first responders. Perhaps find a safe hobby in your own backyard.
