CURRENT STATUS:  The South Bracebridge Environmental Group Inc. has filed an appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) for both the rezoning approval by the Town of Bracebridge and the District of Muskoka's change to the Official Plan Amendment.  The development was opposed by over 4000 of our supporters and we will continue to say no, build elsewhere on a more suitable site.  Stay informed and join our mailing list or Facebook page and check back here for updates.  If you are able, please donate to our legal defense fund.  Thank you for your continued support.

It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for – the whole thing – rather than just one or two stars. ~ David Attenborough
The site is visible from Lake Muskoka on the west with the beautiful Henry Marsh and the Great Trail to the north and access is by way of a road off Highway 118 that must be ALIGNED WITH THE APPROVED District of Muskoka WEST TRANSPORTATION BYPASS per an agreement with the developer. (This will bypass downtown businesses and go through wetlands south of Beaumont Road.)

We cannot allow a massive development of high rise buildings, parking lots, roads, dormitory facilities, a sports complex, offices, pavilions, maintenance shop, accessory dwellings, water and sewer infrastructure to be developed in the habitat of the documented 204 species of wildlife, of which 20 are of conservation concern and 7 are threatened or endangered under the Species at Risk Act.  

This is environmentally irresponsible. 

The development will destroy un-evaluated wetlands and sensitive species habitat and could lead to increased flooding.
