	Business, Profile, Population and Labour
		A vibrant community, Huntsville is the largest of the six District of Muskoka municipalities, which includes Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Lake of Bays, Muskoka Lakes, and Georgian Bay.
		Muskoka's relatively close proximity to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) enables residents to maintain and nurture business and financial interests in the city, while enjoying a "cottage country" lifestyle rich with recreational and cultural opportunities in a beautiful geographic setting.
		In 2001, the District's permanent population of 53,106 increased by an impressive 105,972 seasonal residents, for a total of 159,078.

	Township of Muskoka Lakes Ratepayers' Association
		Muskoka is located only 90 minutes from Toronto and is close enough to be accessible, but far enough away to be a magical place where the worries drift away.

		Muskoka has always enticed people to come and make their home here; but in doing so we must also remember to preserve the beauty the area has to offer.

	Changing Shape of Ontario: Early Districts and Counties
		When districts were abolished in 1849, county governments took on the responsibilities formerly borne by the district governments.
		For example, while Lincoln and Welland Counties amalgamated to form the Regional Municipality of Niagara, their separate courts continued to exist as the Niagara North and Niagara South Judicial Districts (for Lincoln and Welland respectively).
		Until May 1980, the York Judicial District continued to encompass the original York County stretching from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe, despite the lower third of the county becoming the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in 1953 and the remaining territory becoming the Regional Municipality of York in January 1971.

	Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Hansard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		If this legislation is passed, all municipalities would be subject to the 5% limit and, as I say, the only exception would be the 2.5% limit that would be in place for the city of Toronto, should they care to utilize that limit.
		By introducing legislation this fall, municipalities should be in a position to do their tax impact analysis and to make policy decisions in a timely way without delaying the issuance of tax bills for the year 2001.
		Many municipalities had chosen not to update their property tax assessments, with the result, as I indicated earlier, that some were based on calculations that were 25, 35, 40, 50 and 60 years out of date.
