Consultation has concluded

The Township of Muskoka Lakes Dark Sky By-Law regulates outdoor illumination to ensure responsible lighting, light pollution mitigation and conservation of the dark sky environment.

The current Dark Sky By-Law was enacted in 2014 and has been found to impose enforcement challenges and create confusion amongst Township residents. It is in need of an update and At this time the Township wants to hear from the community and receive public input on what changes they would like to see included in the revised Dark Sky By-Law, as well as any comments on the draft Dark Sky By-law recently prepared.

The Staff report from Planning Committee on July 14 with background information about the By-Law can be found here.

The Draft Dark Sky By-Law can be found here.
