OUTCOME: General Committee has provided support, in principle, for the Table Soup Kitchen Foundation’s request, and will advocate on their behalf with different levels of government under which their proposal falls.
The Friends of Muskoka Watershed will be sharing and requesting support for the Salty Muskoka Project which is aimed at reducing salt usage during the winter months.

OUTCOME: Staff have been directed to review the Salty Muskoka Projects’ presentation and report back to General Committee with a Huntsville-specific motion regarding road salt usage and the financial request.
Staff will be presenting proposed amendments to the Short-Term Rental Accommodation By-law, and these changes represent efforts to provide more oversight of short-term rentals.
