Weather Cancellations
When Parks, Recreation and Culture cancels all registered programs on a certain day due to weather, the decision for those evening registered programs will be made after 3:00 p.m. We will notify the public in a number of ways:
- Posts will go out on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages
- There will be alerts on the home page of orillia.ca and this page as well
- We will make announcements on the following local radio stations: The DOCK 104.1 FM, CHAY 93.1 FM, LIFE 100.3 FM, KICX 106 FM, ROCK 95.7 FM and Sunshine 89.1 FM
- Emails will be delivered to those who provided that information at the time of registration. Please call us at 705-329-7250 or email ktown@orillia.ca to be included in this list. Please note that emails will only be sent out for registered programs, not drop-in programs and this will only be done during regular business hours.

Registered Programs Cancellations & Updates
We believe that communication is important. Every effort is made to keep programming scheduled as advertised, however occasionally our programs must be altered, moved, postponed or cancelled due to insufficient registration or unexpected events. In those circumstances we will post the relevant information as soon as possible. Every effort will be made to makeup the affected missed classes.
We endeavor to list all changes or cancellations for City of Orillia recreation programs. However, we cannot guarantee that a cancelled program will be listed here. All City of Orillia recreational programming may be subject to change. Please use your own best judgment to assess local road conditions before venturing out.
Program cancellations: The decision to cancel a program is generally made a week prior to the program start date. Registrants will be notified by phone or email.
Program postponements and changes: Cancellations, postponements or changes may happen on short notice. Registrants will be notified prior to the program when possible.
Weather: During weekdays, a decision will be made by 3:30 p.m. and announced on local radio stations, social media and posted on this webpage.
