At Home in Muskoka Sandi Martin

We’ve reached the end of the first season of At Home in Muskoka, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about the conversations we’ve had so far. In this final episode before our break to prepare for next season, I share the presentation I gave at Ignite Gravenhurst about community land trusts, and stewarding community assets for community health.

In this episode, Lynn DeCaro from the Muskoka Community Foundation joins me to talk about Vital Signs, a bi-annual report that functions as a health and vitality check up across a range of sectors that are critical to the quality of life for our community. We discuss her path from Orrville to Muskoka, from bottle drives to community foundations, and from small actions to big impact.

Kate Monk is the Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Programs for Explorer’s Edge, otherwise known as Regional Tourism Organization 12, the destination development organization for the region of Ontario that includes Muskoka. 
She’s a local girl with a deep and abiding love for our lakes and communities, and joins me today to talk about how a regenerative approach to the business of tourism aims higher than mere sustainability and helps ensure that the businesses, the environment, and the people who live here, work here, and visit here can thrive together.
