Aitchison appointed District Chair

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 at 13:25

MPP Aitchison will resign and be appointed District of Muskoka Chair on December 1st

Big changes are coming to Muskoka politics. The Ontario government has appointed departing federal Conservative MP and former Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison as the new District of Muskoka Chair.

Aitchison plans to resign his Parry Sound–Muskoka seat in the House of Commons and take the oath of office December first, succeeding outgoing chair Jeff Lehman.

Parry Sound–Muskoka MPP Graydon Smith welcomed the move, pointing to Aitchison's local roots and federal housing background to tackle regional growth.
