Public Works Palooza – Where dirt, diesel, and discovery meet!
Join us for the second annual Public Works Palooza!
We’re rolling out the big trucks and opening our doors for a behind-the-scenes look at how our Engineering and Public Works (EPW) team keeps Muskoka running—rain, shine, snow or sleet. From roads and waste to water and wastewater, our crews are working around the clock to keep critical services safe and smooth 365 days a year.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 24, 2025, as we celebrate National Public Works Week with this year’s theme: "People, Purpose, Presence." These three words capture the heart of what it means to serve the community through public works—and we can’t wait to share it with you.
When and where?
Saturday, May 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Rosewarne Landfill – 1091 Rosewarne Dr., Bracebridge, rain or shine!
