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.

Orillia Opera House The Orillia Opera House is one of the province’s most renowned theatres, offering hilarious comedies with some of Canada’s finest professional actors, directors and designers.

Professional Summer Season July 4 - 20: Plaza Suite Neil Simon's hilarious stories of 3 different couples at the Plaza Hotel: A couple returning to their honeymoon suite after 23 (or was it 24?) years of marriage, a Hollywood producer hoping to rekindle an old romance, and a mother and father trying to get their daughter out of the bathroom on her wedding day. All through the lens of comedy master Neil Simon.

Recreation kCulture Programs

July 25 - August 10: Lunenburg A comedy that will keep you on the edge of your seat as secrets are revealed and mysteries unfold. Recently-widowed Iris visits Lunenburg to learn more about the place where her husband spent much of his time, including owning a home she knew nothing about. Her friend Natalie and local carpenter Charlie help her unravel a story that is at once warm, funny and filled with twists and turns.

August 15 - 31: Murder at the Howard Johnson’s

Renovations

All's fair in love? Even … Murder? That's the question posed by this light and funny comedy filled with thrills, suspense, surprises and a ton of laughs by Sam Bobrick. Three characters caught in a love triangle and their bungled attempts to commit the perfect crime will keep you in stitches!

The City of Orillia was awarded $1.5 million in matching funding from the Government of Canada through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund. The funding was requested for renovations/restorations as identified in the Orillia Opera House Conservation Plan. As of September 30, 2017, the Orillia Opera House has seen electrical and plumbing upgrades, the first phase of the HVAC system installed, and flooring replaced and refinished.

Whether it be public skating, pickleball, swimming or music lessons, we have something for everyone.

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, orillia.ca, department social media accounts and through email to those who provided that information at the time of registration. Please see page 20 for details.

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.

Wing Chun is a unique martial art created by women 350 years ago.

It was designed holistically, based on the laws of physics, human nature and biomechanics; thus, allowing a person to discover his/her maximum physical and mental potentials—regardless of age, sex, or size. Unlike other martial arts, it doesn’t focus on making a person larger, rugged, acrobatic, or animal-like; but focuses on developing good structure and power through knowledge of biomechanics and physics. Beside developing flexibility and coordination, practitioners develop self-defense, self-discipline, and self-esteem skills. new

Activities like Sudoku or crossword puzzles can help keep your brain active, but little comes close to the beneficial effects of exercise on the brain. It can help brain functions as diverse as multitasking and creativity and can help prevent memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia. Getting active may even help slow the progression of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

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 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.

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.

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 Community Parks serve the entire community and tend to house large special events including sporting events, festivals etc. These

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.

West Orillia Sports Complex Parks generally include amenities such as athletic fields, accessible playgrounds, washrooms and concessions.

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.

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.

Piano Project Launch This summer our parks, streetscapes, and urban spaces will feature these pianos, painted by local artists for the public to enjoy. Whether you are an amateur or professional pianists, we encourage you to come out and help enliven your city. #TuneIn

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.

Pavilion Rentals

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.

There are 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/facilitybookings.

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.

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.

The following are athletic fields available for use through the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department: Kitchener Park (three fields) 25 Kitchener St.

West Orillia Sports Complex (four fields including one artificial turf ) 100 University Ave.

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.

These fields are for use by groups like soccer, rugby, field lacrosse, etc.

Kitchener Park - Fields E and F as well as the artificial turf field at the West Orillia Sports Complex are lit fields.

Leash-Free Dog Zone Rules

Band Stand

• Dogs must be kept on a leash until they have reached the designated Leash-Free Dog Zone.

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.

Ball diamond facilities are available in the following Parks:

Kitchener Park 25 Kitchener St. Franklin Carmichael Park 295 Park St.

• 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).

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 or in person at the office. 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, 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.

McKinnell Square Park 135 Dunedin St. J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park 450 Atherley Rd.

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.

• Please note that this is not a training area for your dog.

• 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.

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

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.

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.

Rotary Aqua Theatre

Booking Information

The historic Rotary Aqua Theatre was built in 1958 and has been home to many concerts in Couchiching Beach Park. During the summer months, Sunday Evenings Band Concerts take place each week showcasing bands from across the province to the delight of crowds in the hundreds.

“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

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.

These businesses currently support Orillia sports by advertising in your local sports facilities.

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
