Orillia's Climate Future
Orillia’s Climate Future is the City’s roadmap for addressing climate change, reducing emissions, preparing for impacts, and building a more resilient community. Real climate progress happens when communities work together.
Every household, business, and organization plays a role in building a sustainable future. Whether it’s improving home energy efficiency, switching to electric transportation, reducing waste, or supporting local sustainability initiatives, small actions add up. Together, we can build a climate-ready Orillia.

The Energy Management Plan (EMP) guides how the City manages energy in its facilities, tracking electricity and natural gas use, cutting costs, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The EMP supports Orillia's climate actions. Review previous EMP, the 2019 Energy Management Plan and the 2014 Energy Management Plan.

Making your home more energy efficient
Common home retrofits can include air sealing, adding insulation, using low flow fittings, LED lighting and more. Service organizations registered Natural Resources Canada can help you plan energy-efficient retrofits and other improvements to your home.
Energy efficient homes
Any home can easily be retrofitted to boost performance. Adopting simple energy-saving habits can make a world of difference for both the environment and your wallet.
Funding energy efficient upgrades
Programs are available to homeowners for rebates and incentives that make it easier to invest in long-term energy savings, reduce utility bills, and increase the value of their homes. Find funding programs through Save on Energy and Enbridge.
