Delighted to hear that former Barrie mayor Jeff Lehman @jedi_lehman is the new District Chair of Muskoka, garnering a majority of votes today in the first round of voting. He will be an energetic, innovative uniter. Congrats to District councillors for seizing the future!

Muskoka Lakes election in 1 tweet:
Voters spoke clearly: Environment/waterfront protection is the No. 1 issue in Muskoka Lakes.
There are many other major issues the new council must deal with.
But in Muskoka, the environment IS the economy.
Congrats to all who stood up to serve.
Congrats to Peter Kelley, mayor-elect of Muskoka Lakes Twp. Wishing you the best!
A heartfelt thank-you to outgoing mayor Phil Harding. Phil has served TML with distinction. He stood up to the goons of Probity, and fought for what was right.
May the wind be always at your back!
Great to see the Wenonah II out and about.
The friendly giant of the Muskoka Lakes.

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow appears to be a boathouse in #Muskoka.
But most of us probably already knew that.

Rainbow River.
Tonight's beautiful sunset was preceded by an awesome #rainbow over the Indian River.
Sometimes #Muskoka is just too much!

Hail "The Dippy."
A #PortCarling classic!
#Dippy or #Dispro boat was built by the Disappearing Propellor Company in #Muskoka. In 1914 an engineer designed the concept of adding a disappearing propeller to a cedar rowboat, allowing the prop to crank up to avoid rocks. 3100 boats were produced with the last in 1950s

Comedy legend John Cleese asks for place to stay in Huntsville after Airbnb mishap
“Does anyone in Huntsville have a nice place I can rent while I make a film,” Cleese tweeted. “Airbnb took our money but now say they've given our house to someone else.”

A classic #Muskoka cruiser: The High Tea.
I caught a rare sighting of “High Tea” on #LakeRosseau in #Muskoka last night. She is a 1929 #Ditchburn cabin cruiser at 58ft long. Two state rooms that sleep 4. A stunning example of a “Great Gatsby” era yacht from a by-gone time. A pleasure to see her cruising the Muskoka Lakes

Still too many boats going way too fast along Indian River south of Port Carling.
Warm reminder that the 9 km/h speed limit is in effect from Lake Rosseau to Mirror Lake. No wake anywhere on the river, including the stretch from Mirror Lake to Lk Muskoka.
MLA: More signs needed!
Muskoka boaters: water levels are extremely high this weekend.
Please be considerate and drive slowly whenever you're near the shore, to avoid shoreline erosion or damage to property.
Thank you.
