A Message from Mayor Graydon Smith 

and the Members of the 2018 - 2022 Town Council 

It is a great pleasure to extend to you and your family a warm invitation 

to participate in the exciting and fresh line-up of 2019 - 2020 fall and 

winter programs offered through the Bracebridge Recreation 

Department. It is a great time of year, for all things new, as fall tends 

to be a fresh start with children going back to school and adults getting 

back on track with their fitness routines and recreational/sport 

interests. 

Some of the exciting, new programs lined up include: youth leadership 

programs; nutrition workshops, ukulele courses, creative writing, and 

we are offering a new spin on our physical activity programs. Some 

of those programs include the popular youth Climb and Dine, Indoor 

Trimmersion Training, Boot Camps, Geocaching and 5KM 

Running for Youth. 

This winter take the time to get outside and enjoy the many cross 

country ski trails and snow shoe trails at the Bracebridge Resource 

Management Centre, and enjoy the many activities offered through the 

Town's Recreation Department. 

Best wishes for an active and healthy fall and winter.
