What is an Official Plan?
An Official Plan sets out a community’s vision and goals for the future while ensuring new development and growth aligns with the town’s values and priorities. It provides a framework for smart growth and decision making on topics that matter most to the community like new housing, employment, shopping, parks and more.
Bracebridge’s current O?cial Plan was adopted in 2013. The province requires that official plans be updated no less than 10 years from the effective date.

Mac Redden says
The Bracebridge Official Plan is to be one of Ontario’s top indebted communities.
Due to the new arena financial disaster.
Not on target at all.

Even the new library operating cost is much higher than expected.
“Library staff could increase with move to new Bracebridge facility”
“the project was costing $40 million!! more than initially anticipated.” For some ugly boxes.
“The loans required will make Bracebridge one of Ontario’s top indebted communities.”
Drunken sailors are thriftier.
Some areas know how to get funding and value for money.
Bracebridge is not one of them.
For $10+ million LESS than Bracebridge taxpayers are now burdened with, King township is completing
a state-of-the-art, carbon neutral, fully accessible recreation complex with TWO!! NHL-sized ice surfaces, a six-lane 25-metre lap pool, a leisure pool, a multi-purpose athletic fieldhouse, and a multi-purpose community room.
Total $86 million minus $38.7 funded from the feds and the province.
A measly $47.3 for local taxpayers.
Instead of $58.5!! million for Bracebridge for less than half the facility.

A financial disaster for decades to come.
You think taxes are high now?
Just wait until this massive mistake comes home to roost.
