Following weeks of flooding and dealing with constant emergencies, the town of Bracebridge is welcoming spring.
With all area roads now re-opened and water down to manageable levels, Mayor Graydon Smith is eager to have visitors come back to town and seasonal residents open their cottages.
“While the cleanup in the waterfront areas is continuing, I am pleased to announce that our businesses are open and ready to welcome people to the community,” he says. “Visitors to our downtown will enjoy finding a couple of new businesses tucked in amongst our tried and trusted retailers. There truly is something for everyone in our unique and charming downtown.”
The town has put out a list of things visitors can experience while visiting this long weekend.
