Swimming Lesson Schedules & Cancellations Every effort is made by Recreation and Youth Services to keep lessons scheduled as advertised. However, due to registration numbers and wait-lists, we may have to cancel and/or combine some classes. Recreation and Youth Services 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. Weather cancellations will be announced on social media. You can follow Recreation and Youth Services on Facebook and Instagram @orilliarecreationandculture 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.

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 Javier Marroquin at 705-323-0494.

What to do when your child turns six: Regardless of which Preschool level your child completes, once they turn six years old, they will start the Swimmer levels.

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. Recreation and Youth Services 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.

Centennial Park, Couchiching Beach Park and Veterans’ Memorial Park Couchiching Beach Park has a lifeguarded sandy beach and playground. The waterfront Park is a hub of activity including many special events. Every summer, thousands of boaters also dock at the Port of Orillia, located in Centennial Park.

Kitchener Park Located on Lake Simcoe, this is an active centre for soccer, baseball, tennis, horseshoes and a playground. Take a walk through the leashfree dog zone located along the water’s edge behind the athletic fields.

West Orillia Sports Complex This complex includes more than just an arena. It is an outstanding community hub that serves the needs of participants in ice sports, 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.

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

Foundry Park (Coming Soon) Located in the heart of Orillia, this 26 acre, naturalized Park and home of the Orillia Recreation Centre, will feature 1.5 km of paved walking trails, connected to the Lightfoot Trail System by a pedestrian bridge.

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.

J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park Located on Lake Couchiching, this active Park is for baseball, special events and boasts Moose Beach, a lifeguarded sandy beach, splash pad, playground area. This Park also has a paved walking loop trail.

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 Athletic Fields

Beaches (Open June - September)

The following are athletic fields available for use through Recreation and Youth Services:

Orillia is nestled between two beautiful lakes and offers many places to swim and enjoy water sports. The City of Orillia 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.

Maintain a physical distance of at least 4m between groups to allow others to walk safely between.

Kitchener Park (three fields) 25 Kitchener St.

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

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. All athletics fields are booked in 2.5 hour time slots.

Couchiching Beach 140 Canice St. Lifeguards: 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Moose Beach 450 Atherley Rd. Lifeguards: 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 at beaches and parks • Domestic animals are not allowed on the beach or in swim areas

Disc Golf Course

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.

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.

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.

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 orillia.ca. A new course was approved in the 2019 budget and will soon be built in J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park!

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 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.

Naming/Renaming City Parks 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.

Council and the Recreation Advisory Committee have decided that existing and future parks should 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 City of Orillia for more information at 325-1311.

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 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.

Outdoor Pickleball Courts Funded in part by the New Horizons for Seniors Funding, the City of Orillia invites residents to play the fastest growing sport in North America any time in Homewood Park on our first outdoor Pickleball courts. Please note that rackets and balls are not provided. These courts will enable Pickleball to continue to flourish in Orillia and provide free access to recreation and sport.

Weddings/Wedding Pictures in the Park 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 705-3254FUN or bookings@orillia.ca. For information regarding photography opportunities at the Stephen Leacock Museum National Historic Site, please contact Jenny Martynyshyn at jmartynyshyn@orillia.ca or 705-325-2196 as rental fees do apply at this location.

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.

Winter Safety Tips Bundle up and Dress in Layers • The outer layer should be waterproof.

• Don’t forget your mittens and a hat that covers your ears.

• Children should wear neck warmers instead of scarves.

• Replace wet clothes with dry ones.

• Beware of the wind-chill factor and dress for the colder temperature.

Play Safe • Make sure children do not play on snow banks near the roads.

• Snow tunnels and forts can be dangerous because the roof might collapse.

• When making a snow fort, do not put a roof on it.

Hockey games are prohibited on outdoor rinks when they are occupied by pleasure skaters. Skaters are asked to record licence numbers and report any snowmobiles on an outdoor rink.

Winter Walkers For the enjoyment of walkers and joggers, the entire trail from J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park to Wilson’s Point Road will be plowed on a regular basis each winter.

Park 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 Environment and Infrastructure Services 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. The Ironsites Bench is available in a few selected parks while the Orillia Bench is available widely throughout the park system. 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. For more details contact Jacqueline Surette at 705-325-4530 or jsurette@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.

Lightfoot Trail System 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-bike, 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.

The City of Orillia has over 30 km 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, our 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 at the Orillia City Centre or download our Pingstreet app.

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 Orillia City Centre.

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

705-325-4FUN (4386)

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 Environment and Infrastructure Services Department 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.

Smoke/Vape Free Orillia Effective May 15, 2019, the smoking/vaping of tobacco, cannabis, e-liquid, and herbal material is prohibited outdoors on any property owned or leased by the City of Orillia (with limited exceptions) including: any property upon which is located a municipal building, park or beach; any parking lot, trail, walkway, or lane; any dock; on or within a vehicle located on City-owned or leased property; on or within a boat located or moored on City-owned or leased property.

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. Staff have worked hard to ensure this guide is accurate; however, due to the seasonal format we follow, changes might occur after it has been published.

First Come - First Served The best way to secure your spot is online. Submission of a registration form does not guarantee a place in a 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 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.

Payments Registered programs can be paid for online by credit card or in person at the Orillia Recreation Centre 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 at the Orillia Recreation Centre with cash, debit, cheque or credit. An ATM is available at Rotary Place.

Prorating of Program Fees Recreation and Youth Services does prorate fees for late registration with the exception of some programs.

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 Recreation and Youth Services 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 Recreation and Youth Services 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 nonresident 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.

However, if the class cannot be re-scheduled, a pro-rated refund will be issued to your account.
