Friends of Muskoka (FOM) has serious concerns with proposed Bill 108, as detailed in our attached letter dated May 29, 2019. While we appreciate the need to provide greater clarity for both communities and developers, we are concerned that the bill will make it easier for developers to push through inappropriate development that could cause irreparable damage to the natural features that drive the economy in the District of Muskoka.
FOM urges the Province to halt the legislative advancement of Bill 108 to enable consultation with municipalities and communities to ensure its objective for more certainty on what developers can build is achieved without causing irreparable damage to the environment and without ignoring community needs and goals.
