Take the online survey before Aug. 1, 2025 or attend the Public Open House on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Orillia Recreation Centre. More information on the Parks, Recreation, Culture and Trails Master Plan, including links to the surveys, can be found online at orillia.ca/PRCTmasterplan.
