The celebration of French heritage and culture features vendors, artisans, artists, a tractor parade, howling competition, bands, storytelling, and local food.

    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.
