GREETINGS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL How lucky are we as Orillians to call such a vibrant, picturesque and fun-filled city home!

After a long, harsh winter, I would encourage you to get outside and rediscover what makes Orillia the best places to live, work and play.

From Sunday Evening Band Concert Series and Movies in the Park, to the Classic Car Show and a variety of waterfront festivals, there’s something for everyone in the Sunshine City.

Steve CLARKE Enjoy the wide variety of Downtown Orillia events and local festivals, enjoy our beautiful waterfront parks, or take the multi-use trail from one end of the city to another.

This year’s Summer Made Fun guide from the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department is full of exciting new programs, camps and activities to help keep your family happy and healthy this season.

Try out activities as diverse as Kinder Prep, Intro to Stand-Up Paddle Boarding on Lake Couchiching or Escape Room camp at the Leacock Museum.

This summer will be particularly memorable as we continue to celebrate Orillia’s 150th birthday. Make sure to check out this guide and orillia.ca/150 to see what exciting sesquicentennial projects and events are taking place throughout Orillia. You certainly won’t want to miss the Canada 150 and Orillia 150 celebrations and fireworks display at Couchiching Beach Park on Canada Day weekend.

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

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?

ORILLIA WATERFRONT CENTRE A beacon for boaters and residents to Orillia’s waterfront and downtown.

Construction of the Orillia Waterfront Centre at the Port of Orillia is nearing completion, with an anticipated opening in May 2017.

The new building, designed by Brook McIllroy Architects and constructed by Bradanick Construction Services, will act as a beacon welcoming boaters from Lake Couchiching to our beautiful waterfront park and connecting them with the Orillia’s historic downtown.

Featuring individual washroom/shower suites, laundry facilities and a boater reception area, the modern facility will further solidify Orillia’s reputation as the Jewel of the Trent Severn.

The building was constructed for the Orillia community as well. A lounge with waterfront views will animate the park year-round with special programming such as yoga and tai-chi, meeting space for community groups, and rental space for special events such as small weddings, family gatherings and the Orillia Winter Carnival.

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.

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.

SHARE YOUR MEMORIES

Orillia 150 keepsakes are available for purchase at the following locations:

The City of Orillia is inviting residents to share your memories with us 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. This is your chance to leave your mark on the 150.

For details, visit orillia.ca/150.

• Stephen Leacock Museum Gift Shop • Orillia City Centre 3rd Floor • Rotary Place Concession Bar • Orillia Opera House Box Office The Orillia150 line includes hockey pucks, plush bears, and toques. Visit our website for more legacy items offered by our community partners.

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.

Throughout the week, campers will experience training simulations, visits from professionals, and a trip to a local fire hall.

Campers will team up to solve a series of puzzles to facilitate their “escape”. There’s no reaching for your smartphone; campers will rely on their wits, problem-solving skills and their teammates for a shot at success to escape from each room.

Learn the skills to safely mount and paddle a SUP (stand up paddle) board along a calm shoreline. Unlike traditional surfing, where the rider sits until a wave comes, stand up paddle boarders stand on their boards and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water. The width of the board makes it is easy to balance. You will be introduced to different types of paddle strokes, safety skills and overall board knowledge. Enjoy developing your core muscles while balancing and exploring the water. Exercise outdoors and experience the many benefits this fun sport has to offer!

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.

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.

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. 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 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.

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 Operations 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.

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

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.

POLICIES In Detail This guide is organized by age category (Preschool, Adult, etc.) and then by program category (Fitness, Special Interest, etc.) Please be aware that Aquatics is located at the beginning and has its own category. Once you have selected a program of interest, please refer to the registration details below the general description. Some courses fill up quickly, so be sure to register promptly. This guide is produced by the City of Orillia Parks, Recreation and Culture Department and is printed and distributed by the Orillia Packet & Times. Staff have worked hard to ensure this guide is accurate; however, due to the seasonal format we follow, changes might occur after we have gone to print. Additional copies of this brochure are available from the Parks, Recreation and Culture office at 50 Andrew St. South, Suite 300, Orillia or view the online version at orillia.ca.

First Come - First Served 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.

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.

Inquiries about the collection or use of this information should be directed to the City’s Freedom of Information Co-ordinator.

Class Postponement / Cancellations If it is necessary to cancel a 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 rescheduled, a pro-rated refund will be issued. The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department reserves the right to withdraw, postpone, cancel or combine classes, to limit/increase registration or change course locations at any time. Please note that credits left on a registrant’s account will expire 24 months after the date of the original credit entry if not obtained.

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.

Photographs / Video 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. To transfer into a different course, visit the S.U.N. System.
