Pingstreet

Service Notice - Dec. 3, 2021

The City of Orillia has been notified by our service provider that the PingStreet application implemented in 2015 will be discontinued in the future. As a result, PingStreet will not receive any further updates. The City is working to implement a strategy to replace PingStreet with a new platform that will provide services similar to PingStreet in addition to new features to serve citizens and members of the public. Recent mandatory security updates provided by Apple for their IOS mobile devices has impacted the curbside collection notifications currently on PingStreet.  All other functions of PingStreet including the curbside collection schedule, real-time transit and trail information as well as the other links on PingStreet continue to function as expected at this time. 

For updates regarding PingStreet services and the new platform, please follow the City on social media or visit this page.
