Township Of McKellar Follow our new page to stay connected with your community! Here you’ll find public notices, updates, and details on upcoming events.

The Township of McKellar has a rich history dating back to the early 1800s, when the first settlers arrived. Officially incorporated in 1873, we proudly celebrated our 150th anniversary in 2023! Once a thriving logging community, McKellar roots shaped the land and even played a part in the creation of the beautiful Lake Manitouwabing. Nestled in the heart of Muskoka, Canada’s beloved cottage count

ry, we’re surrounded by wonderful neighbours including the Town of Parry Sound, Whitestone, Carling, and McDougall. Today, McKellar is a welcoming community that blends history, nature, and small-town charm.

🐢 A Successful Turtle Release on Hurdville Road!

During Phase II of the reconstruction of Hurdville Road, the Township of McKellar and Generations Effect worked together throughout the turtle nesting season to carefully collect and protect just over 300 snapping turtle eggs.

Yesterday, on behalf of Council, Mayor David Moore, Councillor Morley Haskim and Councillor Mike Kekkonen had the opportunity to release a clutch of 68 snapping turtles back into the area where the eggs originally came from. 🐢💚

A special thank you to Weeks Construction Inc. for their care and attention in ensuring the turtle eggs remained unharmed throughout the reconstruction portion of the project.

We would also like to extend our thanks to RHH Engineering for their work and support throughout the project.

It was wonderful to see these little snappers make their way back home! 🌿🐢
