Introduction

Your Lakes, Your Views 2025 is an important survey that gathers the experiences and opinions of all who use and love the waterways in the Muskoka, Lake of Bays, Haliburton and Georgian Bay regions.

We want to know about the joys of activities on the water, and what detracts from your enjoyment of the lakes.

We need to hear from everyone! We count on you to share the survey link to your family, neighbours and friends to broaden our sample to ensure we hear all perspectives.

Survey results in aggregate form will be published and shared with elected officials, the OPP, Transport Canada, community groups, and lake associations. The survey is implemented by Earnscliffe Strategies, a leading national opinion research firm, and sponsored by the community group Safe Quiet Lakes who has been conducting Ontario lake user surveys since 2013.

Please complete the survey no later than Monday, July 21.
