Serving as Mayor of Bracebridge has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. My commitment remains straightforward: put residents first, manage growth responsibly, protect what makes Bracebridge special and ensure our community remains strong and affordable for generations to come.

Bracebridge has accomplished a great deal, but there is more work ahead.

My commitment is to continue providing experienced, steady and responsible leadership while keeping a clear focus on affordability, housing, health care, infrastructure, economic opportunity, environmental stewardship and the quality of life for all our residents.

I believe we can continue growing and investing in our community without losing sight of who we are.

A strong economy. Responsible growth. Healthy finances. A protected environment. A caring community.

That is the Bracebridge I believe in and the Bracebridge I will continue working to build.

If I am elected as your Mayor I will fight to get the best possible hospital for Bracebridge. I will have regular discussions with MAHC to restore services such as obstetrics, and ALC beds to our hospital. I am not in favour of the new hospital being built in an unserviced gravel pit! I will work to make sure we have no tax increases. I will trim budgets if need be to achieve a zero tax increase. I will only support needs not wants. I will support helping people find housing, but I will not support the District building a $17 million factory. I believe there is too much overlap of District and Town responsibilities, especially roads. I will work to make this more efficient. Why should the district have any say in what we do on Manitoba Street? Local contractors that hire local workers will be given priority in Town contract awards because they will most likely spend the money they earn locally. Above all I will let people know what is happening in the Town hall. I AM NOT A FAN OF CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS. I am open to any and all reasonable suggestions. Because not everyone uses the internet to get information, we will start a regular PAPER newsletter if I am elected.

Thanks, Norm

I have a long family history that dates back to my ancestors who bought a farm near Port Carling on Lake Rosseau in late 1800's. I was born in Bracebridge and graduated from BMLSS. Upon completion of post-secondary studies, I assisted people with disabilities move from institutions to their home communities. In 1999 I obtained my real estate license and served on the BMLSS parent council and 3rd Bracebridge Sea Scouts. I live in Ward 1 and have made my home of 34 years on the Muskoka River and together with my late husband, raised our two sons. If elected, my priority is to continue being accessible, listening, and responding to your ideas, concerns and queries around municipal affairs bringing my business and leadership to council and to manage tax dollars responsibly. A healthy environment is a healthy economy, and we need to work in collaboration with the community, indigenous people and the province. Building community capacity to plan differently for ALC beds and affordable housing is needed. I care deeply about this community and the people who live here. I would like to continue my commitment towards it being a wonderful place to live, work raise a family and to grow old.

I have lived in Macaulay Ward for over 30 years; raising my family, building my career, and fostering a strong sense of community. It is an honour to put my name forward to run for Bracebridge Council and contribute back to this place we call home. Having worked as a healthcare professional in Muskoka for 30 years has allowed me to connect with a lot of people and learn firsthand who this community is made up of and what is important to them.

As a Councillor, I will use that knowledge to promote a healthy community, which includes everything from economic health, environmental health, social health and population health. I believe in fair and equitable access to the basics of life; food, shelter and safety and in building systems that are stable, accessible and responsive to the needs of community members. I will support proposals that contribute to building a thriving year round economy and that create social connection and a sense of belonging. I believe in expanding green spaces to highlight the natural beauty of the area and in creating safe spaces for active transportation to promote healthy lifestyles for all ages. 

I believe in investing in a healthy community.

Your Neighbour. Your Voice. 

For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of running the Muskoka General store+refillery in Draper Ward. Every day, I’ve listened to neighbours, families, and local business owners who care deeply about our community.

That’s why I’m running for Town Council.

Strong communities are built on the basics: safe, well-maintained roads and reliable access to healthcare. These aren’t political talking points—they’re everyday needs that affect all of us.

As your councillor, I’ll advocate for improved road maintenance, fair investment in Draper Ward, and stronger local healthcare services.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a small business owner who understands budgets, problem-solving, and the importance of showing up for your community. I’ll bring a practical, honest approach to Council, always listening and putting Draper Ward first.

WHY I'M RUNNING

I believe strong communities are built through listening, transparency, accountability and practical leadership. My experience in healthcare, small business, financial management and community service has given me a practical understanding of the challenges facing residents, families and local businesses.

I will ask the hard questions, look carefully at the numbers and support decisions that provide value for taxpayers. Growth is important, but it must be responsible and supported by the infrastructure and services our community needs.

I will work to protect the character of Bracebridge, our rural communities, waterways and natural environment while supporting responsible economic development and housing opportunities.

I believe we must protect and strengthen the services that make our community a good place to live, work and raise a family, including healthcare and essential municipal services.

Most importantly, I will listen, communicate openly, consider different perspectives and be willing to ask difficult questions—even when it isn't the easiest thing to do.

I will stand strong for our community.

In October please vote Cindy Waters for Draper Ward.
