To be more specific, those six are split between the two Muskoka towns.

Bracebridge has had three charges in 43 check stops and Huntsville also has three along with one warning range suspension in 26 RIDE initiatives.

Both West Parry Sound OPP and the Haliburton detachment have laid zero impaired charges in 147 total check stops between the two municipalities.
