The City of Orillia appoints approximately 100 citizens to its many boards and committees. Our community benefits greatly from the scope of knowledge and volunteerism provided through local participation. Some boards and committees require a specific level of interest or expertise, while others simply require you to bring your creative ideas and interest in serving the community. Most meet on a monthly basis. Check out the pages on the menu to the left to learn more about the various boards and committees. Questions about membership?
