Huntsville Community Fund Inception 2025

The Huntsville Community Fund was established to provide a way for residents to engage with and show financial support for community initiatives that matter most to them. Administered by the Muskoka Community Foundation (MCF), donations will stay in the fund until Council provides direction on how the funds could be used to support the projects’ respective goals.

Healthcare Professional Attraction and Retention

Donate Now

Donations to the Healthcare Professional Attraction and Retention project will be used to fund ongoing community initiatives that increase access to healthcare for Huntsville residents. Previous Town of Huntsville healthcare initiatives include the Physician Incentive Program and supporting the Annex Healthcare Clinic by providing operational facilities.

Unity Path

Donate Now

The Unity Path is a project designed to celebrate the diversity in our community with a dedicated safe space. The conceptual design honours veterans, accessibility, cultural diversity, and both the Indigenous and the LGBTQ2S+ community. The completed project will include a sign installation at Trinity United Church and an immersive experience along the pathway up to the Town Hall parking lot.

The project is estimated to cost $10,000 and is to be funded entirely through community donations. Please note: Should the fund not reach the $10,000 financial goal, donations will be reallocated to other diversity-related Town projects.

Huntsville Pickleball Courts

Donate Now

Donations to the Huntsville Pickleball Courts project will be used to fund the installation of two (2) new pickleball courts in Huntsville.

Once the initial funding target of $200,000 has been reached, Town Council will consider the location, overall cost of installation, ongoing operational costs, and future Town budget impacts. The overall cost of installation is to be funded entirely through community donations. As a result, the final funding target for this project will be set once the total cost of installation is determined.

Please note: Should the fund not reach the financial goals, Town Council may reallocate donation to other community-related Town projects. No timeline has been set to achieve the funding goals at this time.

Commitment to reconciliation

As a Community Foundation operating on the traditional lands of the Ojibway, the Chippewa, the Algonquin and the Odawa, and home to three sovereign nations – Wahta Mohawks First Nations, Moose Deer Point First Nation and the Moon River Métis – we cannot walk in a good way if we do not honour all our relations in our communities, and actively work to address the impacts of colonialism on Indigenous peoples on these lands, both past and present.
