The Town of Bracebridge is taking a significant step forward in delivering new affordable housing in the downtown core.

Effective Monday, March 9 at 12:01 a.m., the annual reduced load limit will be in place to ensure the road base on all Town of Bracebridge roadways are not damaged due to thawing temperatures and heavy vehicles.

As plans get underway for building upgrades and improvements in the year ahead, the Town is inviting property owners, businesses, and investors to take advantage of updated financial incentive programs available through the Community Improvement Plan (CIP).

The Town of Bracebridge has introduced the “RZone”, a policy designed to promote and uphold respectful, responsible behaviour, in all recreation facilities, programs and parks. The policy draws on best-practices established in other Ontario municipalities and further supports the Town’s commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone.

Celebrate the season with gifts that commemorate Bracebridge and the milestone anniversary year. From unique community-branded gifts to versatile Shop the Bridge gift cards and limited-edition collectibles, there are countless ways to give meaningful, locally inspired presents while supporting Bracebridge businesses.

Today, the Mayor’s 2026 Budget and Business Plan was officially adopted, marking an important step forward for a growing community focused on strategic investments, fiscal sustainability, and keeping services strong.

The Town of Bracebridge will install the floating snowmobile bridge on Monday, November 24 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., weather permitting. The bridge is located near 154 Beaumont Drive and 147 Santa’s Village Road and allows snowmobilers to safely travel over the Muskoka River.

The Town of Bracebridge’s Public Works team is ready for colder temperatures and the winter months ahead. Crews work diligently to ensure municipal roads, sidewalks, walkways and parking lots remain safe for motorists and pedestrians.

Due to the ongoing postal service disruptions, the Town of Bracebridge will not be mailing annual statements to property owners enrolled in the pre-authorized payment (PAP) plan for property taxes.
