Site Personnel are ready to assist you at all hours with security issues. However, in an emergency - fire or other immediate dangers, PLEASE contact 911 before calling the Site Personnel. Barrie's Emergency Services are trained to respond to life-threatening situations - and the staff is pleased to support, coordinate or assist where required.

Personnel will immediately investigate your concerns, document, and provide feedback to the Property Manager in case of corrective action.

  • Final Report, Strategic Facility Plan, Township of Oro-Medonte, March
    FINAL REPORT Strategic Facility Plan, Township of Oro-Medonte March, 2010 March 31, 2010 Shawn Binns, Director Recreation and Community Services Department Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Box 100, Oro LOL 2X0 Dear Mr. Binns: The RETHINK GROUP is pleased to submit this Draft Report of the Strategic Facility Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte. The Strategy researched and evaluated most types of leisure facilities and offers recommendations that are aligned to broad time frames, looking out twenty years. This comprehensive township-wide Strategy should act as the guiding framework for decision-making. It builds upon and integrates the individual provision strategies that have been developed for each type of facility. Key elements and themes include: measures to reduce deficiencies; consolidation and clustering of some facilities to improve efficiency and effectiveness; establishing the three-tiered hierarchy of parks and facilities (local, community and township-wide/regional) as the basis of service delivery; encouraging partnerships and strategic alliances with other public entities, and the non-profit and commercial sectors; and gradually and steadily increasing the direct and indirect role of the Municipality in the provision of leisure services - including an increased emphasis on leisure interests that are growing in popularity. Fundamental to the Strategic Facility Plan are the Planning and Provision Principles, which provide the philosophical foundation and key policy direction. The principles also provide a ‘touch stone’ to help evaluate decisions under consideration, as well as some of the tools to help refine the Strategy over time. Integral to the Strategic Facility Plan is the detailed feasibility study for the proposed new arena complex and the outdoor facilities recommended for the Guthrie site.

Today is a day worthy of celebration, even as, in common with citizens around the globe, we continue to face a crisis virtually unknown to living generations. The world has been turned on its head. My first thoughts are with those who have succumbed to COVID-19, and their families. The stories of the last few months tell of hardship and inequality. They have exposed weaknesses in the economic and social systems upon which we rely, and have confirmed our interdependence with those beyond our neighbourhoods and our country. We grieve collectively. But in equal measure, we are witnessing empathy, collaboration, creativity, and courage. Deserving of special gratitude are the many frontline workers who are bravely leading us through this crisis, and also the millions of people across Ontario, especially seniors, who are, at great personal cost, doing the right thing and staying home to prevent the spread of the virus.
