In order for the participant to experience success, it is important to consider the participant’s ability, age, need, and the type of activities that take place within the program. Every effort will be made to ensure programs are open to all members of our community whenever it is safe and enjoyable to do so. In order to do this, we work closely with local agencies to co-ordinate resources to help make programs accessible. Communication and co-operation between all parties will ensure a safe and fun environment for all participants and will help to remove any real or artificial barriers to participation. Ask The Questions: • Is support required at school? • Does a physical, developmental and/or learning disability exist that affects the safety of the participant or that of other program registrants? • Is the participant currently associated with a support agency? • Is extra support needed at home for basic care such as dressing and toileting? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may need support. Please go to orillia.ca/inclusion and fill out the Participant Intake Form prior to registering for the program. Staff need to ensure we have an Inclusion Facilitator available for you or your child. Once filled out a supervisor will be in touch with you in regards to next steps. Please be aware due to the 1:1 nature of our support, you will not lose your spot in the programming.

Swimming Lesson Schedules & Cancellations Every effort is made by the Recreation, Youth and Culture Division to keep lessons scheduled as advertised. However, due to registration numbers and wait-lists, we may have to cancel and/or combine some classes. The Recreation, Youth and Culture Division will make every effort to notify, in advance, if swimming lessons are cancelled.

You can follow The Recreation, Youth and Culture Division on Facebook and Instagram @orilliarecreationandculture for cancellation announcements.
Evaluations Swimming lessons follow progressive evaluations and recognize that everyone learns at a different pace.

Notes for Parents / Guardians Please ensure that your child has gone to the bathroom, and has had a shower before entering the pool. Please ensure that your child wears proper swimming diapers if necessary. If your child has been ill or is nauseous, it is recommended that you do not send them to class.

City Parks The City of Orillia is proud to showcase its inventory of public parkland. From tranquil waterfront spaces to exciting playgrounds to beautifully manicured lawns, these public spaces are designed to enhance and complement the natural beauty of our community. The City categorizes Parks into four categories as listed below:
Community Parks Community Parks serve the entire community and tend to house large special events including sporting events, festivals etc. Centennial Park, Couchiching Beach Park and Veterans’ Memorial Park Couchiching Beach Park has a lifeguarded sandy beach and playground. The waterfront Park is a hub of activity including many special events. Every summer, thousands of boaters also dock at the Port of Orillia, located in Centennial Park.
Kitchener Park Located on Lake Simcoe, this is an active centre for soccer, baseball, tennis, horseshoes and a playground. Take a walk through the leashfree dog zone located along the water’s edge behind the athletic fields. West Orillia Sports Complex This complex includes more than just an arena. It is an outstanding community hub that serves the needs of participants in ice sports, indoor sports, outdoor athletic field sports, tennis as well as recreational walking trails. It is also the home of Orillia’s only artificial turf field.
Neighbourhood Parks Neighbourhood Parks are located within an urban development and tend to meet the needs of the surrounding neighbourhoods. Some amenities include playgrounds, washrooms, splash pads and loop trails.
Parkettes
Foundry Park Located in the heart of Orillia, this 26 acre, naturalized Park and home of the Orillia Recreation Centre, will feature 1.5 km of paved walking trails, connected to the Lightfoot Trail System by a pedestrian bridge.
A Parkette (also known as a mini-park) is a small parcel of green space that may include a small playground area. Parkettes can also provide greenery and a place to sit outdoors.
J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park Located on Lake Couchiching, this active Park is for baseball, special events and boasts Moose Beach, a lifeguarded sandy beach, splash pad, playground area. This Park also has a paved walking loop trail.
A naturalized area generally consist of naturalized trails and can be considered an “escape from the City within the City”. Scout Valley is currently the City’s only Park designated as a Naturalized Area.

Beaches (Open July - Beginning of September) Orillia is nestled between two beautiful lakes and offers many places to swim and enjoy water sports. The City of Orillia operates two public beach areas. Couchiching Beach is located at the foot of Downtown Orillia and Moose Beach is located at J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park. Maintain a physical distance of at least 4m between groups to allow others to walk safely between. Couchiching Beach 140 Canice St. Lifeguards: 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Moose Beach 450 Atherley Rd. Lifeguards: 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
While beaches are fun, there are a few rules that must be followed: • Swim at your own risk when lifeguards are off duty • Know your limits and stay within them • Always swim with a buddy • Children 6 years and under must be within arms reach • Children under 10 must be supervised by an adult at all times • Vacate the water when you hear thunder • Obey the lifeguards • Smoking is prohibited at beaches and parks • Domestic animals are not allowed on the beach or in swim areas
Disc Golf Course The City of Orillia offers a unique, fun and challenging 9-hole disc golf course at Homewood Park free of charge. Installed in 2006, the course has become a popular course among disc golf enthusiasts. Disc golf is a lot like traditional golf, except players use specially made plastic flying discs instead of balls and clubs, and throw them at an above ground target. The object of the game is to throw a golf disc into the target in the fewest number of throws. Golfers are welcome to use their own discs, however, official golf discs can be borrowed from the Orillia Public Library.
Kiwanis Skateboard Park Band Stand In the 1800s it was common to gather at Civic Park (now Couchiching Beach Park) and listen to the Orillia Citizen’s Band, now known as the Kiltie Band. Hundreds of people used to come and watch the performance, so in 1909 Town Council approved the construction of a bandstand suitable for musical performances and presentations.
Baseball Diamonds
The Kiwanis Skateboard Park was built in 1999 through the hard work of many people in the community. Some of the features of the Park include a fun box, bank, rails, stairs with rail and snake run. Please consider the following when using the Park: • Helmets must be worn by all participants • All litter must be placed in containers • No foul language is permitted • No food or drink are permitted on the concrete skate pad
Ball diamond facilities are available in the following Parks: Bayview Park 335 Hilda St.
McKinnell Square Park 135 Dunedin St.
Kitchener Park 25 Kitchener St.
J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park 450 Atherley Rd.
Franklin Carmichael Park 295 Park St.

Naming/Renaming Athletic Fields Council and Members of the Recreation Advisory Committee have decided that existing and future athletic fields should be named/renamed after Orillians who have made ‘extraordinary contributions’ to the sports of ball or soccer. The criterion for selection would be participation, building, or volunteering within our community. Nominations are submitted to the Recreation Advisory Committee for consideration. Written submissions must clearly demonstrate that an individual meets the criteria. The Recreation Advisory Committee will then summarize their recommendation in a report to Council.
Leash-Free Dog Zones Dogs love to run free. With that in mind, the City of Orillia has created two Leash-Free Dog Zones, where owners can take their dogs and let them run, unleashed, in a fenced-in area built especially for man’s best friend. Clayt French Park 114 Atlantis Dr. The Leash-Free Dog Zone at Clayt French Park is a small leashfree zone, which was first created as a pilot project. It proved to be one of the most popular features of the Park.
Naming/Renaming City Parks Council and the Recreation Advisory Committee have decided that existing and future parks should be named/renamed after Orillians who have made “extraordinary contributions” to Orillia. The onus is on the person/group submitting the suggestion to prove the worthiness of the nominee and convince the Recreation Advisory Committee that the contribution of the nominee is extraordinary and fits the rationale. Nominations are submitted to the Recreation Advisory committee for consideration. The Recreation Advisory Committee will then summarize their recommendation in a report to Council. Contact the City of Orillia for more information at 705-325-1311.

Weddings/Wedding Pictures in the Park The City’s beautiful parks are a perfect backdrop for your outdoor wedding ceremony and/or wedding pictures free of charge. To ensure there are no conflicts with events in the parks, contact 705-325-4FUN or bookings@orillia.ca. For information regarding photography opportunities at the Stephen Leacock Museum National Historic Site, please contact Jenny Martynyshyn at jmartynyshyn@orillia.ca or 705-325-2196 as rental fees do apply at this location.
Wet Fields/Diamonds Policy If the fields are wet the calcine clay infield is designed to absorb water, however when it is saturated, the water remains on the infield creating a slippery, grease-like surface. Even with cleats, this becomes a health and safety issue. Usage of turf areas when wet causes turf to be torn out. These areas become rutted and invaded with weeds which lowers the quality of the turf. Please help us ensure your use of safe, high quality fields.

Lightfoot Trail System Trail Etiquette When travelling multi-use trails, you may encounter many different forms of trail users, such as hikers, bikers, dog walkers, roller bladers, etc. Trail etiquette can be described as the “polite way to use trails.” • Respect the trail and adjacent landowners. • Be aware and courteous to all other trail users. • Walk, ride or cycle in single file in the middle of the trail. • When approaching fellow trail users, stay to the right. • When approaching slower moving trail users from behind on a bicycle or E-bike, sound your bell or horn and safety pass on the their left. • Clean up after pets and keep them leashed and in control to avoid them zigzagging across the trail. The City of Orillia has over 30 km of multi-use trails including loop trails, paved trails and natural trails. Our trails connect to each of our surrounding communities, highlighting incredible scenery that Orillia and surrounding areas have to offer. In addition to spanning across Orillia, our Lightfoot Trail System highlights natural heritage features and historical land marks throughout the entire City. The Lightfoot Trail System is a dual trail that stretches along the north-east end of the City connecting the Uhthoff Trail to the Atherley Narrows, with a spike that links to the Oro-Medonte Rail Trail. If you would like a trail map, please visit orillia.ca, pick one up at the Orillia City Centre or download our Pingstreet app.
Trail use is a privilege that should not be abused or disrespected. Making trail etiquette a priority allows everyone to enjoy the outdoors and have a good time while being safe and courteous. - Supplied by the Ontario Trails Council. Limited-speed motorcycles, motor-assisted bicycles (moped), pocket bikes, electric and motorized scooters and segway scooters are not permitted on the trail system in addition to the large motorized vehicles such as cars, trucks, snowmobiles, ATVs, dirt bikes etc.
Active Transportation Committee The Active Transportation Committee (formerly Trails for Life) is composed of eleven members including one Council member. The Committee advises Council on the use, maintenance, and promotion of the Lightfoot Trail System and Scout Valley. Part of the Committee’s mandate is to meet with community groups or individuals, assist with completing reports, make recommendations regarding special projects (i.e. Regan House), research and report to Council on grant programs and available funding. Members of the Committee may serve a maximum of six consecutive years. The Active Transportation and Trails Advisory Committee operates within the terms of reference, policies and guidelines of Council and Council is the final authority on all matters.
Trail Donations Together, our community made it possible to build the paved Millennium Trail section of the Lightfoot Trail System. The Active Transportation Committee now needs your help to maintain and enhance this project. If you wish to make a donation, please visit the City’s website at orillia.ca for a donation form. Forms are also available at the Municipal Operations Centre or Orillia City Centre.

How To Read Trail Blazes: A Skill Everyone Should Know The Scout Valley trails are marked with blazes that match the colour of the trail that you are on; for instance, the Sugarbush Trail is marked with orange blazes, the Algonquin Trail is marked with green blazes, and the Homestead Trail is marked with blue blazes. Keep an eye on these different blazes when hiking to avoid getting lost. Blazes are rectangles of paint usually about 15 cm high and 5 cm wide on trees, fence posts, and rocks. The blazes may vary in size depending on the surroundings. Typically the blaze faces you as you approach. If
705-325-4FUN (4386)
the path ahead is not obvious, another blaze should be visible from the first. If the path is straightforward, the blazes are usually less frequent. If you lose the trail, return to where you saw the last blaze and look carefully for the next blaze. If the trail is rerouted for any reason, such as for tree regeneration, the blazes are usually covered over with dark paint. Always follow proper blazes by staying off closed sections of the trail.
Trails at Scout Valley As trail users we must constantly ask ourselves can the next 100 people down the trail do what I am doing and not leave trace of their passing? Trails by their very nature are intrusions on the landscape and actually change the landscape. Ensuring that we work together to create a natural experience that meets all user needs without blazing new and unofficial trails not only protects the natural environment we all enjoy, but also helps to soften the impact of the many park users. To report misuse of the trails, please contact the Environment and Infrastructure Services Department at 705-326-4585.
Be One Step Ahead: Learn to Read The Trail Blazes
A single blaze indicates the path is straight ahead.
A double blaze indicates a change in direction. This is indicated by two parallel marks with one marking lower than the other, the higher mark indicates the direction the path turns.
This double blaze indicates you are about to turn left since the higher marking is on the left side.

Facility payments can be paid for over the phone by credit card or at the Orillia Recreation Centre with cash, debit, cheque or credit. An ATM is available at Rotary Place.
Waiting Lists Once a class/camp is filled, interested registrants will be placed on a waiting list in the order the registration is received. It is recommended to go on the waiting list as we endeavour to accommodate people by expanding the class size or creating an additional class.
The best way to secure your spot is online. Registrations are not confirmed until you receive a receipt.
Senior Citizens’ Rate Seniors 60 years and up will receive a 25% discount on all programs. When registering online or in person, your discount will be automatically applied based on your birthdate in the system. Nonresident seniors deduct 25% from the non-resident rate.
Prorating of Program Fees The Recreation, Youth and Culture Division will prorate select programs. Proration will not be permitted for missed classes.
Non-City Resident Policy All recreation programs have a rate for City of Orillia residents and a rate for non-residents. The programs offered by the he Recreation, Youth and Culture Division are subsidized by municipal taxes, so we keep the cost as low as possible for those who contribute to the municipal tax base. Thirty percent (30%) will be added to the registration costs of non-residents. The Recreation, Youth and Culture Division reserves the right to request proof of residency. A resident is defined as anyone who resides within the City of Orillia boundaries and/or pays taxes directly to the City of Orillia. A nonresident is defined as anyone who does not pay taxes directly to the City of Orillia.
NSF Cheques The City of Orillia charges an administration fee of $36.00 for each NSF cheque received.
Class Postponement / Cancellations If the minimum amount of participants is not met on the week prior to a program’s start date, programs usually need to be cancelled. Register early to avoid cancellations. If a course is cancelled, you will be contacted and a full refund will be issued to your account. If it is necessary to cancel a single class due to inclement weather, school board cancellations, pool closures, instructor illness, etc. every attempt will be made to re-schedule the class. However, if the class cannot be re-scheduled, a pro-rated refund will be issued to your account. For last minute changes, we will do our best to contact participants with the exception of mass weather cancellations. A decision is made to cancel a class due to weather after 3:00 p.m. and a notification can be found on orillia.ca/changes and our social media accounts. The Recreation, Youth and Culture Division reserves the right to withdraw, postpone, cancel or combine classes, to limit/increase registration or change course locations at any time.
