Port of Orillia Dredging Project: Final Phase Beginning

This project, initiated in December 2024, aims to address weed growth and sediment build-up, restoring historic lake depths to accommodate larger vessels and enhance the Port's functionality. Completion is anticipated by the end of November. 

Key Details:
• Work Period: End of October to end of November 2025
• Activities: Excavators and barges will be stationed at the Port for dredging operations.
• Impacts: At the Orillia Waterfront Centre, a portion of the parking lot and the area on the south side of the building will be closed. An area of the lake near the Orillia Waterfront Centre will be closed to boating. The paved trail running through this area will remain open.
