Local Government

Local government in Muskoka is governed by a two-tier system.  The District Municipality of Muskoka forms the upper-tier, working closely with six Area Municipalities who make up the lower-tier. Both levels collaborate and align services to achieve cost efficiencies and best serve residents and visitors to Muskoka.

The District is governed by a 23 member Council consisting of a District Chair who is appointed directly by District Council, the Mayors of the six Area Municipalities, and 16 directly elected District Councillors who also sit on the Area Municipal Councils (three from each, with the exception of the Townships of Lake of Bays and Georgian Bay, who have two).

Historical Listing of Previous Council's

A historical listing of all Council's and appointments is available for your information.

Community Safety Well-Being Plan 

Community Safety Well-Being (CSWB) plans target discrimination, racism, financial security and poverty reduction, housing, mental wellbeing, and gender-based violence. The District hosted two virtual community input sessions, as well as an online survey to collect input from the community.

The District sought community input to develop a Community Safety Well-Being Plan for Muskoka.
