Wonder where the money went? Any idea of the population of our district? Want to know what percentage of our economy comes from tourism?
Councillor Paul Wiancko passed along this fast facts sheet about the District of Muskoka. Remember, good governance relies on informed and involved citizens. Thanks Paul.
Ever wonder what kind of trees are on your property or wonder if you should plant some white pine down by the lake? We recently had the pleasure of a forester's tour of our bay. It was fascinating, informative, entertaining and free. Apparently, our District of Muskoka has a 'forest health program' that you, as a resident of Six Mile Lake, can utilize to learn about the trees and ecosystem the surround you. Forester Tony Armstrong gave our group of neighbours a walking seminar, identifying species, outlining good forest management practices and even showed us how to safely fell a tree. It was awesome.
For more information about Muskoka’s Forest Health Program or if you would like to set up a meeting with the Forest Health Technician, please call Melissa Halford 705-645-2100 ext. 288. Tony Armstrong can also be contacted directly at 705-645-9352.
Nurse practitioner, Dana Strength is opening up a NP station in the community of Wahta. Located in the community building on Muskoka Road 38, this modern, well-equiped facility is scheduled to open on October 1st. The practice will be open 5 days a week 8:00-4:30 and we will be year around. The station plans to be open for one evening, likely Wednesdays and close at 2:00 on Friday. Modelled after the very popular Rosseau Nursing station, this is good news for Six Mile and area residents who will now have access to 'local' health care. For more information, contact the community center at 705-762-2354.
