  • Press Release
    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Simcoe County Libraries Receive Minister’s Award for Innovation at OLA 2015 Members of County of Simcoe Library Co-operative recognized for Enterprise ingenuity LEHI, Utah (February 10, 2015)—The County of Simcoe Library Co-operative received the Minister’s Award for Innovation for website design and accessibility at the 2015 Ontario Library Association (OLA) Super Conference. Multiple members of the consortium were recognized for exceptional Enterprise design through the Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project. Made possible through the partnership of ten Simcoe County Libraries, The Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project is a successful and creative solution for meeting the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Standards. The project also fulfills the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look”—through enriched library user experiences, user-friendly interfaces, and enhanced online services. “The partner libraries are thrilled to have received this award,” said Gayle Hall, Chief Librarian, County of Simcoe Library Co-operative. “We all worked very hard to ensure that the project provides a cutting-edge solution to meeting the AODA standards and fulfilling the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look.” It is a fiscally responsible answer to the provision of equitable access, enhanced online services and excellent customer service through the utilization of a user-friendly platform.” The Library Co-operative utilizes SirsiDynix Enterprise, which allows each partner library to easily customize its discovery interface—through library branding, tailored designs, and audience-specific profiles—to give its users the Best Library User Experience possible. The consortium also utilizes a number of additional BLUEcloud products, such as eResource Central and Buy It Now, which enhance users’ experiences through one-click eResource downloads and in-catalog item purchases.

    Town of /Ville de Penetanguishene January 14, 2020 Mayor and Council Delivered by Email: Township of Clearview [email protected] 217 Gideon Street Stayner, ON L0M 1S0 Dear Mayor and Council; Re: Seeking Support – Penetanguishene as a primary location for Francophone University The Town of Penetanguishene sent correspondence to the County of Simcoe Mayors back in October 2019, in regards to its intent to lobby the Provincial Government to be considered as a primary location for the Francophone University. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, there’s speculation that the location of Université de l’Ontario français will be within the Greater Toronto Area. Since an announcement hasn’t been made, the Town of Penetanguishene will be continuing to pursue this endeavour until it’s made official. We strongly believe that the Town’s long standing French culture and heritage, the value add for the future of students studying in French, the location, the appropriate infrastructure to support such a worthwhile venture, and the overall quality of life for future students make Penetanguishene an excellent candidate. For these reasons, please consider supporting the Town of Penetanguishene in the form of a resolution, as we lobby the Provincial and Federal governments in the pursuit of a Francophone University being situated in our Town and the County of Simcoe. Additional background information has been enclosed for your information. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 705-549-7453 or [email protected]. Most Sincerely, Doug Leroux, Mayor Town of Penetanguishene Encl. cc: Jeff Lees, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Penetanguishene George Cornell, Warden, County of Simcoe Mark Aitken, Chief Administrative Officer, County of Simcoe 10 rue Robert St.

  • Community Picture Report Executive Summary
    SIMCOE MUSKOKA COMMUNITY PICTURE March 2011 (revised June 2011) Prepared for the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit Produced by Dillon Consulting Limited Funded by the Government of Ontario i Community Picture Report Executive Summary Introduction In May 2009, the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport (MHPS) launched the Healthy Communities Fund (HCF) initiative, an integrated approach to improving the health of Ontarians. In 2010, the MHPS released the Healthy Communities Framework, which provides partnership opportunities for public health units, municipalities and community partners to work together to build healthy public policies and programs that make it easier for Ontarians to be healthy and promote a culture of health and well-being. The Simcoe Muskoka Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP) is one of 36 across Ontario that promotes coordinated planning and action, to create healthy public policies. The Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport requires Partnerships across the province to develop a Community Picture. The Simcoe Muskoka Healthy Communities Partnership Program (HCPP) will form the foundation from which local priorities and recommended actions across the six MHPS Healthy Communities priority areas will be identified. The purpose of the Community Picture is to inform the work of the HCP. It provides an in- depth understanding of the strengths, capacities, initiatives, opportunities and policies that have an impact on the health and well-being of residents in Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka. The Community Picture provides information on the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s area of coverage, including Simcoe County, the Cities of Barrie and Orillia, and the District of Muskoka.
