GREETINGS from mayor & CIty council With spring just around the corner it’s time

to start thinking about getting back outside and enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and our beautiful parks again. The coming of spring is always heralded with the arrival of the City’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Department’s annual “Spring Made Fun” guide which is always full of fantastic programs to help you aand your family stay active.

As we have waited out the colder months, the City has been hard at work planning and scheduling a wide variety of programs and activities for families and individuals to take part in. With warmer weather ahead it’s time to consider registering the kids for swimming

lessons, enrolling in a fitness, pickleball or yoga class, or discovering your creative side by taking a painting or sculpture course.

No matter what activity you decide to do, it is important to find a balance between work and a healthy lifestyle and there is nothing like a change in the weather to motivate you into action. In this guide, you will find something for all ages and all interests. Being healthy and active has never been easier!

On behalf of Orillia Council and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department, I wish you and your family a fun-filled spring and summer! Get healthy! Stay healthy! Have fun!

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 Megan Kamphuis, Recreation Program Supervisor, at 705-325-4786 or mkamphuis@orillia.ca.

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. If you have any questions, please contact Megan Kamphuis at 705-325-4786 or mkamphuis@orillia.ca.

1:1 Inclusion Facilitators 1:1 inclusion facilitators are available for children who need supervision for personal care, social guidance, safety and behavioural concerns. The cost of 1:1 Inclusion Facilitator is $365.00 per week for camps and $80.00 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.

Accessibility Advisory Committee The City’s Accessibility Advisory Committee is dedicated to solving accessibility challenges. If you have questions or concerns about accessibility, please contact Committee Secretary, Leigh Kenderdine, at 705-325-2310.

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, social media and orillia.ca/changes.

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.

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 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.

• 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.

Baseball Diamonds 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Booking facilities To book a facility or park, a written request must be submitted using the rental request form on orillia.ca/facilitybookings or by emailing the Permitting Clerk at bookings@ orillia.ca.

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.

Weddings/Wedding Pictures in the Park Washroom Facilities within Parks Washroom facilities are open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seasonally from May to Thanksgiving with the exception of the Orillia Waterfront washrooms which are open year-round.

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 705-325-3506 or bookings@orillia.ca.

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 Environmental Services and Operations at 705-329-7249, or visit orillia.ca.

Donate a Bench People may make donations towards a new park bench or an existing bench. Whether existing or new, a donor recognition plaque will be installed on the bench. Once you have decided to proceed with a bench donation, a site visit will be scheduled to choose a bench and location. Please note that there are no spots left in Couchiching Beach Park. We will try to accommodate all requests, however the Department will have the final decision as to the type of bench and its location.

Two types of benches are available: Orillia Bench - $700 donation and Ironsite Bench -$1400 donation.

“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

Donate a Tree Planting times are in the spring and again in the fall. Requests for a spring planting must be received by March 1st and by August 1st for a fall planting. Once you have decided to proceed, a site visit will be scheduled to discuss the species and location opportunities.

Please note that there are no spots left in Couchiching Beach Park.

The City plants several different types of trees and varieties that are considered appropriate for various locations in our parks. Suitable tree types are dependent on the specific location. Our City Arborist will help you select a tree that suits a desired location. Special Order Tree Donations will be determined at the time of order. The tree may be selected from a list of approved species. Standard Tree donations begin at $450.

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.

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).

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

705-329-7250

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

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.

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.

Payments Registered programs can be paid for online by credit card or in the office with cash, debit, cheque or credit. Money on account can also be used. Facility payments can be paid for over the phone by credit card or in the office with cash, debit, cheque or credit. Drop-in programs must be paid for with cash or punch card at the venues. An ATM is available at Rotary Place.

Prorating of Program Fees Parks, Recreation and Culture does NOT prorate fees for late registration of programs and camps.

Senior Citizens’ Rate Seniors 60 years and up will receive a 25% discount on all programs.

Please write“senior”on your registration form as well as your birthdate.

If registering online, your discount will be automatically applied. Nonresident seniors deduct 25% from the non-resident rate.

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.

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 Parks, Recreation and Culture Department are subsidized by municipal taxes, so we keep the cost as low as possible for those who 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. 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 non-resident 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.

Photographs / Video Unless the participant or guardian indicates otherwise, Parks, Recreation and Culture will assume permission for photos/videos to be taken during programs to be used for promotion.

HST HST is not included in the pricing shown and is only charged on programs for persons over the age of 14.

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 Parks, Recreation and Culture. To transfer into a different course, visit the S.U.N. System.

Class Postponement / Cancellations If the minimum amount of participants is not met on 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 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 your account will expire 24 months after the date of the original credit entry if not obtained.

Personal Information Personal information is collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.M. 56 under the authority of the Municipal Act 2001, S.O. 2001, c 25 and will be used by the City of Orillia Parks, Recreation and Culture Department for the operation of recreation programs. Inquiries about the collection or use of this information should be directed to the City’s Freedom of Information Co-ordinator.

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%. This can be done by calling the office or using the S.U.N. Registration System online.

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. Please note that credits left on your account will expire 24 months after the date of the original credit entry if not obtained.
