Orillia Rec Centre Project Moving Forward

Orillia City Council has given initial approval to move forward with Phase One of the Rec Centre project at 255 West Street South, which puts the centre on target for a summer 2018 opening. All Council Committee recommendations must be ratified by Council at its meeting on September 28. The project includes an aquatic centre, gymnasiums, fitness centre, multi-purpose rooms and more. “Staff and the project architect have been working diligently to move this project along,” said Mayor Steve Clarke. “Council made building a recreation facility one of our top priorities and we are moving full-steam ahead on making it a reality.”
