GREETINGS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL Steve CLARKE

It’s almost time to pack away the winter coats and boots and welcome the warmer weather to the Sunshine City. There is no better way to embrace the coming of spring than by signing up for a Parks, Recreation and Culture “Spring Made Fun” program. This guide is full of fantastic programs and activities to help you and your family stay active throughout the spring season.

As Orillia celebrates our 150th anniversary alongside our nation, make sure to check orillia.ca/150 and this guide for exciting sesquicentennial projects and events happening across Orillia throughout 2017. We invite you and your family to join us and celebrate Orillia’s past, present and exciting future by taking part in the ceremonies and events we have planned all year.

The City of Orillia’s wide variety of programs, facilities, and exceptional parks and trails means there is no shortage of activities for families and individuals to take part in. Now is the time to try a fitness, swimming or yoga class, or perhaps tap into your creative side with a theatre program or energizing dance class?

On behalf of Orillia City Council and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department, I want to wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable season to come.

Sincerely, Steve Clarke, Mayor

INCLUSION INFORMATION Everyone Can Register for Camps and Programs!

Medical Needs / Therapy

We welcome participants of all abilities in 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.

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.

CELEBRATING ORILLIA’S 150

TH

Victoria Art Park Victoria Park is one of Orillia’s oldest parks and is rich in history and natural beauty. It is home to the Elizabeth Wyn Wood sculpture, “Leaping Dear,” commissioned in 1992 for the City’s 125th anniversary, along with a hidden piece of Orillia’s history - a reservoir that fed water to four downtown cisterns using a network of wooden pipes. Starting in 2017, the City will honour this heritage with upgrades including a historical gateway sign and small plaza with overhead trellis and interpretive signage. Join us at the “Art Park” on May 20th to see the proposed transformations and celebrate alongside our creative community of artists, musicians and storytellers.

The City is looking for artists and performers of any discipline to join us; participation is free! Contact Haleigh Fox, Cultural Event Coordinator, for information at hfox@orillia.ca or 705-325-2153.

150 Merchandise Orillia150 keepsakes will be available for purchase at the Stephen Leacock Museum Gift Shop and at select 150 events throughout 2017. These pop-up locations will be listed on our website as they become available. The Orillia 150 line includes hockey pucks, plush bears, beanies (hats), and more.

Share Your Memories The City of Orillia is inviting residents to share their memories for the Sesquicentennial Time Capsule project, which looks to create a digital legacy of 2017 for generations to come. Digitized versions of newspaper clippings, photographs, testimonials and memorabilia are all examples of items we are looking for.

Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) won for himself a truly international reputation as author, economist and humorist. The 10-acre site includes Leacock’s 19-room summer home.

Swimming Lesson Schedules and Cancellations Every effort is made by the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department to keep lessons scheduled as advertised.

However, due to registration numbers and wait-lists, we may have to cancel and/or combine some classes. Parks, Recreation and Culture will make every effort to notify, in advance, if swimming lessons are cancelled. On occasion, cancellations may happen on short notice due to unexpected situations such as pool fouling, facility cancellations, power failure, or mechanical difficulties. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For weather cancellations during weekdays, we will make the decision at 3:30 p.m. that day and cancellations will be announced on the radio as well as posted on the S.U.N. System website and the City website.

You can also follow Parks, Recreation and Culture on Facebook or Twitter for cancellation announcements.

Evaluations Swimming lessons follow progressive evaluations and recognize that everyone learns at a different pace. Please realize that your child may need to repeat a level to ensure that they have mastered all of the required skills. This will help to make your child a stronger, more competent swimmer. If you have any questions, please contact Christine Mitchell at 705-329-7251.

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. It is suggested that your child avoid eating at least one hour prior to swimming lessons. If you are unsure of the level your child should take, please contact Christine Mitchell at the Parks, Recreation and Culture office by telephone at 705-329-7251.

150 experience

This is a milestone year for Canada and Orillia as we mark 150 years since confederation and incorporation.

As Ontarians, we also celebrate 150 years as a province within this great nation! Join in the many activities, new and old, that celebrate our rich culture, heritage and traditions. Visit orillia.ca/150 for an up-to-date listing of events.

150 Merchandise Orillia150 keepsakes will be available for purchase at the Stephen Leacock Museum Gift Shop and at select 150 events throughout 2017. These pop-up locations will be listed on our website as they become available. The Orillia 150 line includes hockey pucks, plush bears, beanies (hats), and more.

Share Your Memories The City of Orillia is inviting residents to share their memories for the Sesquicentennial Time Capsule project, which looks to create a digital legacy of 2017 for generations to come. Digitized versions of newspaper clippings, photographs, testimonials and memorabilia are all examples of items we are looking for. More on this exciting initiative to come!

Victoria Art Park Victoria Park is one of Orillia’s oldest parks and is rich in history and natural beauty. It is home to the Elizabeth Wyn Wood sculpture, “Leaping Dear,” commissioned in 1992 for the City’s 125th anniversary, along with a hidden piece of Orillia’s history - a reservoir that fed water to four downtown cisterns using a network of wooden pipes. Starting in 2017, the City will honour this heritage with upgrades including a historical gateway sign and small plaza with overhead trellis and interpretive signage. Join us at the “Art Park” on May 20th to see the proposed transformations and celebrate alongside our creative community of artists, musicians and storytellers.

The City is looking for artists and performers of any discipline to join us; participation is free! Contact Haleigh Fox, Cultural Event Coordinator, for information at hfox@orillia.ca or 705-325-2153.

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.

IN THE PARKS 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.

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.

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.

For information on booking a facility or park visit orillia.ca/recbookings.

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.

Parks, Recreation and Culture offers two pavilions at Couchiching Beach Park for rent. These pavilions can accommodate large events with picnic table seating for up to 60. Pavilion rentals include hydro and water availability. For rental rates of pavilions, please visit orillia.ca.

Pavilions are generally used for annual events such as family reunions; therefore, past users have until the last business day of October to request in writing the same weekend they had in the current year for the next year. After this deadline, all requests received are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Pavilions can not be booked until all the summer special events in the park have been booked.

Users can expect the Department to contact them in early February regarding their pavilion request. Requests for pavilions must be in writing. The request can be submitted in the form of an email, by mail, and by fax or in person at the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department office (see page 4 for contact information). This written request must include your full name, address, a day-time and evening telephone number, the date, times and facility being requested. Once your request has been received, a permit will be created in our booking system. You will be contacted by the department once your permit is ready to be signed. If you would like, the permit can be emailed, faxed, mailed or picked up (depending on the time line of your booking). Depending on the time line of your booking, payment may be due immediately.

This will be discussed with you after your request has been received.

There is also a pavilion shelter available at both Homewood Park and Orma Drive Park, which are available on a first-come-first-served basis.

Wet Fields/Diamonds Policy

Book a Wedding at the Stephen Leacock Museum by contacting Jenny Martynyshyn at 705-329-1908 ext. 801

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.

Contact us for your free intro.

Classes can be scaled for any ability level.

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 Manager of Parks in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department at 705-325-2060, or visit orillia.ca.

“Leaf” Your Own Legacy On October 23, 2015, a 13-foot bronze sculpture “Golden Leaves” was unveiled as a tribute to local folk legend Gordon Lightfoot. It is accompanied on either side by two smaller maple leaves entitled “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and “Black Day in July”. The artist, Timothy P. Schmalz, took inspiration from the album “Gord’s Gold” for the larger piece, with the smaller leaves paying tribute to individual songs from Lightfoot’s repertoire. All three sculptures were generously gifted to the City of Orillia by the Rudolph P. Bratty Family Foundation. Together, the sculptures are part of Schmalz’s vision to create a pilgrimage across North America, leading visitors to Orillia, Lightfoot’s hometown. Building on the Bratty Family legacy, help Schmalz realize his vision by purchasing a leaf or contributing to his Kickstarter campaign. For more details contact Jacqueline Soczka at 705-325-4530 or jsoczka@orillia.ca

LIGHTFOOT TRAIL SYSTEM 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 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 the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department at the City Centre (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.”

• 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.

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 by 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 Parks, Recreation and Culture Department at 705-329-7250 or email parks@orillia.ca

Built in the heart of the community, for the community.

The facility design will honour the site’s history, while creating new and exciting opportunities for Orillia’s future. It will serve to connect Orillia not only physically through the Lightfoot trail system and its proximity to the Downtown, but also figuratively as it serves as a community hub and the social heart of the City.
