Sunday, the District of Muskoka declared a state of emergency in response to the severe ice storm that swept through the area, causing widespread power outages, downed trees and power lines, and hazardous road conditions. 

The declaration encompasses the Town of Gravenhurst and other lower-tier municipalities in the district.
