    Hi Muskoka. There was encouraging news yesterday!

    Your District Council chose to defer approvals to construct an unneeded $600,000 alternate grass runway to accommodate the request by an individual to construct a building on the existing more favourable grass runway. This new runway introduces serious hazards to aircraft and pilots which will decrease safety and increase liability. It also hobbles economic growth at this airport which is so important for Muskoka’s future.

    I would like to thank the councillors that voted down this motion yesterday and hope they continue to lead more visionary decisions for the future of this airport and all of Muskoka.

    Well done Councillors.

    Is Muskoka going to the dogs?

    This summer I have observed a dog (not a service dog) sniffing at the produce and meats in a small grocery store. He could have as easily lifted his leg and urinated. The manager said there was nothing he could do!

    I was waiting for my car to be serviced when I had a dog jump onto my lap and the owner thought it was just wonderful! Another dog was romping around the waiting room unleashed. The owner said he was not going restrict the dogs (or their owners).

    I was mauled by a dog as a child and as a nurse have seen what dogs can do. Dogs are not people, folks, and should not be expected to behave as people in people settings..
