The District of Muskoka\u2019s Engineering and Public Works department is inviting residents to learn more about how infrastructure, construction, and operations staff keep critical services running safely and smoothly 24\/7, 365 days a year. The first Public Works Palooza, in recognition of National Public Works Week, is set for Saturday, May 25, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s theme is ‘advancing quality of life for all.’ Residents can ask questions and see what trucks and equipment are used to provide service to Muskoka residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe commitment and pride staff have in their work, and the difference they make across the District to all of our residents, business owners, and visitors is unprecedented,\u201d said James Steele, Commissioner of Engineering and Public Works. \u201cThey connect our communities with a road network that is safe, ensure clean drinking water and connect plumbing to our wastewater treatment facilities to send wastewater back into the environment safely, and manage residential solid waste, from the collection of materials to diverting as much as possible and disposing of the remainder in our landfill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muskoka Paramedic Services will also be in attendance as they celebrate Paramedic Services Week from May 19 to 25. Paramedics are dedicated 24\/7, 365 days a year to providing medical care first to those with acute illnesses or injuries while en route to a nearby hospital. They also provide community paramedicine to help residents stay in their homes longer by filling in gaps within their care plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an excellent opportunity to learn more about what the Engineering and Public Works Department and Paramedic Services do in Muskoka,\u201d said Commissioner Steele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
