Project Overview
The Township of Muskoka Lakes is updating its Economic Development Strategy for 2026–2030. The updated strategy will set clear priorities and practical actions to support a resilient, year-round economy that reflects local values, opportunities, and community identity.
WHY NOW? Muskoka Lakes’ current strategy was adopted in 2020. Since then, economic conditions have shifted significantly, including changes related to the pandemic, inflation and cost pressures, workforce challenges, and broader uncertainty. This update is an opportunity to confirm what’s working, adjust where needed, and ensure the Township has a clear, realistic roadmap for the next five years.
