IDEA Advisory Group (IAG)

In 2021, the District of Muskoka established an advisory body for Muskoka District Council called the IDEA Advisory Group (IAG). To learn who is on the IAG, please look under Important Documents for the IDEA Advisory Group Profile.

The main purpose of the IAG is to:

1. Provide advice and make recommendations to District Council to support it in its goal to become a more inclusive, diverse, equitable and anti-racist community;
2. Anticipate community needs in advance of current or relevant issues;
3. Create opportunities for community engagement and public education to advance the goals of IDEA;
4. Educate itself and its members on issues related to IDEA; and
5. Promote the goals of IDEA to the Muskoka community at large.

Below is a snapshot of some of the IAG's activities since 2021.

On the right-hand side of this page are links to important documents such as the IAG's Terms of Reference, the IAG's multi-year strategic plan and the community report that was completed with broad community input in 2020/2021 to better understand local issues related to inclusion, diversity, equity and discrimination or hate.

On the right you will also find links to all reports to District Council on the IAG's activities, and IAG meeting minutes.

Please visit this page often for updates and announcements, and don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
