The Draft Our Orillia Official Plan is now ready, and we want you to learn about the Plan and let us know if we got it right. This plan sets the course for Orillia’s future and will serve as the main tool to guide change, investment, and action across the city.
An introductory presentation will be delivered, followed by activities and discussions with the Project Team. We look forward to presenting this plan to the community and continuing this important conversation about the future of Orillia.
What happens at the Open House?
- Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Project Team.
