Did you know…
The Town of Bracebridge has a long and treasured relationship with Norway that dates back to World War II. During that time, the Royal Canadian Air Force operated out of the Muskoka Airport as an auxiliary base for CFB Borden to conduct flight training. The airport was also used as a training facility by the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Throughout the war, hundreds of Norwegians escaped to Canada to train as pilots and aircrew before returning to the battlefields of Europe.
Since then, our long history and friendship has remained. The Town of Bracebridge and Gol kommune, Norway Friendship Committee is a Council advisory committee that strives to foster the friendship and cooperation between both communities by engaging with one another and the community throughout the year to promote cultural awareness, learning opportunities, and support other initiatives that are beneficial to the citizens of both communities.
The Town of Bracebridge and Gol kommune, Norway Friendship Committee is leading this engagement initiative to not only share the holiday spirit with the Bracebridge community but share it with our friends in Norway to show them our holiday traditions and wish them well.
