The City of Orillia will spend five hundred thousand dollars on tree recovery and replanting following the ice storm of earlier this spring.
City council approved the plan at yesterday’s meeting. The funding was allocated from the City’s Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve and will support the removal of damaged and fallen trees, removal of tree stumps and the planting of new trees in public parks hardest hit by the March 30 storm including Couchiching Beach Park, Centennial Park, and J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park.
