Thursday, 21 August 2025 12:45

Officials stress its a planned exercise, not an emergency

The Township of Muskoka Lakes Fire Department will be running a surface water rescue training course this weekend at Windsor Park in Bala.

The training, part of a Surface Water Operations & Technician program, takes place Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning.

Residents may notice fire crews using boats and rescue gear, but officials stress this is a planned exercise, not an emergency.

The course, delivered through the Ontario Fire College, helps strengthen the region’s readiness for water rescue operations.
