GREETINGS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL Orillia is a wonderful place live, work and play year round, but there is something about summer in Orillia that is electric! The entire city comes to life with promise of a jam-packed season full of festivals, events, endless outdoor activities, a bustling downtown, and busy parks and trails. With everyone eager to get outside and experience all that summer has to offer, our Parks, Recreation and Culture Department has prepared this Summer Made FUN guide to help you and your family get the most out of summer in Orillia.
Steve CLARKE
June is Recreation and Parks Month and we encourage all residents to become more active and engaged in the recreation opportunities
available in Orillia. Kick-off your beach season with our lifeguards at Couchiching Beach Park during Water Smart Day on June 20th. We are particularly interested in meeting Grade 7 and 8 students interested in becoming lifeguards as part of our lifeguard recruitment program for the new recreation facility set to open in 2018. Together, Orillia Council and staff are committed to helping improve your quality of life by providing exceptional recreation and cultural opportunities for all ages. I would encourage you to discover the exciting programs, events, services, trails and amenities highlighted in this guide. There is never a shortage of activities for individuals and families to enjoy. On behalf of Orillia City Council, I’d like to wish you and your family a safe and active summer season. Sincerely, Steve Clarke, Mayor

INCLUSION INFORMATION Everyone Can Register for Camps and Programs!
Medical Needs / Therapy
Participants with special needs are encouraged and welcome to participate in any of our programs. 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.
City of Orillia staff do not provide any ongoing medical interventions, supports or therapies (i.e. injections, G-tube feedings, etc.). Strategies and accommodations as applicable and appropriate to the program environment will be supported. Personal care is provided at a 1:1 support level only (transfers only – no lifts).
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 contact the Parks, Recreation and Culture office to speak with staff.
Accessible Inclusive Recreation - A.I.R. All recreation programs offered by the City of Orillia provide a fully inclusive environment. The City of Orillia welcomes participants of all abilities to enroll in any of the various programs. Inclusive facilitators may be available for participants who need assistance; however, spaces are limited so please book early. Once registered, you will receive a phone call requesting additional information that may aid in creating a safe and fun recreational environment for your child as well as a 1:1 worker.
Child Information Packages To assist in better planning, a Child Information Package must be attached to all inclusion registrations. Forms are available at the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department (Orillia City Centre), or online at orillia.ca.

The cost of 1:1 Inclusion Facilitator is $360.00 per week for camps and $75.00 for an eight-class program. Camp and program registration fees are additional. This only covers the cost of an inclusion staff. Please note that there are a limited number of spots available.

These intermediate swimmers will swim 5m underwater and lengths of front, back crawl, whip kick, and breaststroke arms with breathing. They’ll cap it all off with front crawl sprints over 25m and 4 x 25m front or back crawl interval training.
Swimmer 5
6Y-12Y
Swimmers will refine their front and back crawl over 50m swims of each, and breaststroke over 15–25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50m front or back crawl; and 4 x 10–15m breaststroke.
Swimmer 6
6Y-12Y
These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke, and they will complete a 300m workout.
Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They will do side roll entries and open their eyes underwater. They will master a short (3–5 m) swim on their front and gliding and kicking on their side.
Preschool 5
3Y-5Y
These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a PFD and holding their breath underwater for up to 10 sec. They will work on longer front and back crawl swims, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.
Please note that there is no class on August 1, 2016. Classes will be made up on the following Friday.

Parks & Trails For details visit orillia.ca
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. Parks, Recreation and Culture categorizes Parks into four categories as listed below:
Community Parks
Kitchener Park Kitchener Park, located on Lake Simcoe, is an active centre for sports. Players as well as spectators enjoy soccer, baseball, tennis and horseshoes. Acres of green grass and a playground centre invite children to enjoy the Park as well. Take a walk through the leash-free dog zone located along the water’s edge behind the athletic fields. West Orillia Sports Complex The West Orillia Sports Complex includes more than just an arena. It is an outstanding community sports complex that serves the needs of participants in ice sports, summer 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. This facility promotes active living along with community values and is accessible to young and old alike.
Community Parks serve the entire community and tend to house large special events including sporting events, festivals etc. These Parks generally include amenities such as athletic fields, accessible playgrounds, washrooms and concessions.
Neighbourhood Parks
Centennial Park, Couchiching Beach Park and Veterans’ Memorial Park Couchiching Beach Park has a summer supervised sandy beach and playground. The waterfront Park is a beehive of activity from mid-May until mid-October including many special events and Sunday Evening Band Concerts. Every summer, thousands of boaters also dock at the Port of Orillia, located in Centennial Park.
Parkettes
J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park on Lake Couchiching is an active Park for baseball, special events and boasts a beach volleyball court as well as a 2.5 Km paved walking loop trail. Within this Park, Moose Beach has a summer supervised swimming area, splash pad and playground apparatus.
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. 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.
Naturalized Areas 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.

Baseball Diamonds
Disc Golf Course
Ball diamond facilities are available in the following Parks:
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.
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.
All diamonds at Kitchener Park, J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park and one diamond at McKinnell Square Park are lit. All ball diamonds are booked in 2.5 hour time slots.
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. Rules, scorecard and course map for the disc golf course are available to print off on the City’s website at orillia.ca.
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.
Beaches (Open July 1 - September 5, 2016) Orillia is nestled between two beautiful lakes and offers many places to swim and enjoy water sports. The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department 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. Couchiching Beach 140 Canice St. Guards on duty: 12:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m.
Moose Beach 450 Atherley Rd. Guards on duty: 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 within 20 metres of beach or playground area • Domestic animals are not allowed on the beach or in swim areas
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
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 leash-free zone, which was first created as a pilot project. It proved to be one of the most popular features of the Park. Kitchener Park 25 Kitchener St. Open since 2011, this large Leash-Free Dog Zone within Kitchener Park serves as a social hub for dog owners and their pets.

Leash-Free Dog Zone: Rules • Dogs must be kept on a leash until they have reached the designated Leash-Free Dog Zone. • All dogs must be licensed and fully vaccinated. • No children under the age of 12 are permitted unless supervised by an adult (this area is designated as a “Dog Zone” - it is not a children’s play area). • Dogs that show aggression are not allowed within the Leash-Free Dog Zone.
• Please clean up after your dog. • Do not bring food of any kind into the Leash-Free Dog Zone (this includes all dogs treats) as food is a trigger for fights between dogs. • You are liable for any injury caused by a dog under your supervision. Users of the Park assume the risk of injury / damage to themselves and their dog.
• Please remember that this is not a training area for your dog.
Naming/Renaming Athletic Fields Council and Members of the Recreation Advisory Committee have decided that existing and future athletic fields should perhaps be named/re-named 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.
Naming/Renaming City Parks Council and the Recreation Advisory Committee have decided that existing and future parks should perhaps 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 Parks, Recreation and Culture Department for more information at 329-7250.

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.

BENCH & TREE DONATIONS The Bench and Tree Donation Program is designed to increase public enjoyment and participation in the City’s Parks. Benches and trees make great gifts to both your beneficiary and your favourite Park. Best of all, your donation helps support Parks city wide! Bench and Tree donations are tax deductible and an official receipt will be issued to the donor by the City. For the complete Bench and Tree Donation Program Guidelines and Application Package or any other donation inquiries contact the Public Works Department at 705-326-4585, visit the Municipal Operations Building at 20 James Street West or visit the City website at orillia.ca.
“Leaf” Your Own Legacy On October 23, 2015, the bronze leaf of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was installed in J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park alongside a 13foot sculpture entitled “Golden Leaves” in honour of the folk legend Gordon Lightfoot. The artist, Timothy P Schmalz, took inspiration from the album “Gord’s Gold”, for the larger piece, with the smaller maple leaves paying tribute to songs from Lightfoot’s repertoire. Schmalz’s vision is to create a pilgrimage across North America, leading visitors to the primary sculpture in Orillia. The first two leaves installed in Orillia are part of a generous gift to the City by the Rudolph P. Bratty Family Foundation. Help Schmalz in his vision by making a similar contribution to the City of Orillia’s trail system and cultural identity. For more details contact Jacqueline Soczka at 705-325-4530 or jsoczka@orillia.ca.

ORILLIA LIGHTFOOT TRAIL SYSTEM City’s website at orillia.ca for a donation form. Forms are also available at the Public Works Department office at 50 Andrew St. South, (third floor).
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.”
The City of Orillia has over 29 kms 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, out 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 and the Parks Recreation and Culture office or download our pingstreet app.
Active Transportation Committee
• 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-bikes 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. 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.
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

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 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 staying off closed sections of the trail.
Trails at Scout Valley As trail users we must constantly ask ourselves can the next one hundred 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 at Scout Valley or any of Orillia’s other trails, please contact the City of Orillia Public Works Department by email at publicworks@orillia.ca or by telephone 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.

First Come - First Served
Waiting Lists
The best way to secure your spot is online. Submission of a registration form does not guarantee a place in the recreation program. All registrations will be processed in the order they are received. Registrations are not confirmed until you receive a receipt. If a registration form is received by the office prior to the registration start date, it will be processed, as time allows, starting on the applicable registration date.
Photographs / Video
Senior Citizens’ Rate Seniors will receive a 25% discount on all recreation programs. Please write “senior” on your registration form as well as your birthdate. If registering online or by touch-tone telephone, your discount will be automatically applied. Non-resident seniors deduct 25% from the nonresident rate. Please note: the senior rate applies to any registrant who is 60 years of age or older.
Non-City Resident Policy All recreation programs have a rate for City of Orillia residents and a rate for non-residents. A non-resident is defined as anyone who does not pay taxes directly to the City of Orillia. The programs offered by the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department are subsidized by municipal taxes, so we keep the cost as low as possible for those who already contribute to the municipal tax base. Twenty five percent (25%) will be added to the registration costs of non-residents. The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department reserves the right to request proof of residency.
Prorating of Program Fees Parks, Recreation and Culture does NOT prorate fees for late registration of programs and camps.
NSF Cheques The City of Orillia charges an administration fee of $33.00 for each NSF cheque received.
HST HST is not included in the pricing shown and is only charged on programs for adults over the age of 14.
73
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.
Unless the participant or guardian indicates otherwise, Parks, Recreation and Culture will assume permission for pictures to be taken during programs to be used for promotion.
Refunds A full refund will be issued prior to the start of an activity only: • When an activity is cancelled by the Department. • When the date, time or location for the recreation/culture program is changed by the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department and prohibits attendance. Refunds/credits will be issued up to seven days prior to the start of a program with an administrative fee of 10%. Check page 9 for information on how to withdraw using the S.U.N. System. Medical refund requests must be accompanied by a doctor’s certificate/note and the 10% administrative fee will be waived. It will only be processed up to the halfway point of any recreation/culture program. Absolutely no refunds will be given after the mid-point of a program. The refund will be pro-rated based on the number of classes left in the recreation/ culture program at the time the request is received, regardless of the date the registrant stopped attending the recreation/culture program.
Transfers Transfers from one course to another are permitted up to five business days prior to the start of the recreation program. In the case of swimming lessons, transfers are permitted after the first lesson, and only if there is space, upon approval of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department.
