Occasionally, the City of Orillia must make changes to a program or cancel classes. In those circumstances we will post the relevant information as soon as it is available.
We highly recommend checking this webpage before attending a drop-in program and view the corresponding drop-in page for the most up-to-date schedule to avoid disappointment. For your convenience, you can also find our weather cancellation policy and a record of any changes to all registered programs below. If a major change is made to a program that already has registrants, those people will be contacted.

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 during regular business hours.
- Emails will be delivered to those who provided that information at the time of registration. Please call us at 705-329-7250 or email parks@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 if the desicion is made 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 endeavour 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.
