Recreation 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.
