Gravenhurst Ontario's Racial Profile

97% Rastafarian? Oh my, who put that? Completely off, wrong Gravenhurst methinks. No idea on what the actual racial profile is, but it sure ain't that---it's about---99% white up there. xD

EDIT: Ah, the entire demographics section is wrong. - John Jacques May 3rd, 2007

Re: Gravenhurst Ontario's Racial Profile

Uh, yeah, the demographics listed on the page are complete nonsense. I'm deleting that racial profile bit, not only because its wildly inaccurate, but because it seems completely irelevant besides the point.

Other Stuff

The Town of Gravenhurst includes a large area of the District of Muskoka, known to Ontarians as "cottage country." The town centre borders on two lakes: Lake Muskoka, which is the largest lake in the Region, and Gull Lake, a smaller cottage-bordered lake.

About ten kilometers to the south of town centre lies a medium-sized body of water called Kahshe Lake. The name came from the Indian designation Kah-she-she-bog-a-mog, which, according to one source, means Lake of Many Ducks and Birds. Other people swear that it means Lake of Many Islands. Yet others, especially those with powerful motor boats, swear at Lake of Many Rocks.

Three years ago the Kahshe Lake Ratepayers Association (KLRA) combined with another lake association to form a committee designed to study the natural and social environment of the lake and the area around it and to make recommendations on how to preserve the quality of life for residents on and around this lake.

This lake study was completed after two years and is available on the web site set up by the KLRA at www.kahshelake.ca

This study includes a series of maps of the lake which designate specific aspects such as sensitive areas, lots, publically owned areas, etc.

Other lake associations are welcome to visit this site, read the study and look at the maps. A discussion forum allows for questions to be asked.

Removed implausible text from camp section

"The camp also had its own small zoo that had a monkey and a black bear that prisoners would wrestle as a form of exercise." I thought of putting citation needed, but since there's a 95% chance it's vandalism (if it isn't,I'd love to know since that would be pretty awesome) I just moved it here. ❃Adelaide❃ (talk) 05:38, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
