Town of Bracebridge is highlighting its accomplishments and progress over the past four years as the current council term comes to an end.
According to staff, some of the key milestones they have achieved since 2022 include major investments in community facilities and housing, environmental initiatives, economic development and improvements to municipal services.
Projects undertaken by the 2022-2026 council include the opening of the Muskoka Lumber Community Centre, the largest single capital investment in the Town’s history, and the redevelopment of the former Memorial Arena site, which is expected to create 103 residential units, with at least 25 per cent designated as affordable housing.
Throughout its term, Council also committed $10 million toward the local share of the Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare Capital Redevelopment Project, advanced plans to transform the former Georgian College campus into a Muskoka Health and Wellness Centre, and supported the redevelopment of the Carnegie Library into a Business Development Centre.
Other accomplishments include efforts to revitalize downtown, support economic development, strengthen environmental stewardship, create lasting community legacies and modernize municipal services.
“Together, the work reflects a coordinated effort to translate Council’s direction into projects, policies, programs and services that support the community,” said town officials.
Staff said this work provides a foundation for the incoming 2026-2030 council to establish its priorities and continue shaping the future of Bracebridge.
The new council will be sworn in on Nov. 18.
