Bracebridge District Councillor Don Smith announced today he will be seeking re-election when nominations open in May.

Smith says that “there are many projects that need to be completed and others coming forward that can benefit from a consistent approach.”

Smith, who was first elected to Town and District Council in 2014 that he is fully is engaged in the community as a long-time resident and downtown business owner and understands the challenges confronting Bracebridge.

Smith acknowledges that housing and the environment are key priorities and the dramatic increase in the wait list for community housing in Muskoka is totally unacceptable.

Smith added that “Speaking on behalf of the community and asking the tough questions ratepayers want answered is so important to keeping the people of Bracebridge informed.”
