The City is extending a warm welcome to new residents of Orillia with a one-stop information resource and welcome package containing complimentary vouchers.
“Orillia is wonderful place to live, work and play and we are thrilled to launch the New Resident Welcome and Information Program to welcome new residents and provide them with access to valuable information about City services and amenities,” said Mayor Steve Clarke. “Throughout the pandemic, we have heard and experienced first-hand a migration of people leaving urban centres in search of the quality of life Orillians enjoy daily. Through this program, new residents can request a package filled with complimentary vouchers to experience some of the wonderful services and amenities Orillia has to offer. Our hope is that through this program we can engage all new residents and help them feel at home and welcomed in their new community.”
New residents can request their package through the online submission form by clicking here. Proof of residency is required. As Orillia City Centre remains open by appointment only, residents without access to the internet can call Orillia City Centre at 705-325-1311 to fill out the application form with staff.
The package includes vouchers for the following City services and amenities:
- One-Day Family Pass to the Orillia Recreation Centre
- $25 Off Ticket(s) Purchase to the Orillia Opera House
- Family Admission to the Stephen Leacock Museum
- Four Orillia Transit Tickets
- One-Day Free Parking in a Municipal Pay and Display Lot
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, voucher use will be limited at this time; however, vouchers do not expire until Dec. 31, 2022. Residents are encouraged to visit orillia.ca/COVID-19 to view the status of City of Orillia services and facilities.
Vouchers have also been generously provided by the Downtown Orillia Management Board, Orillia District Chamber of Commerce and the Orillia Museum of Art and History.
Quantities are limited and packages are available on a first-come-first-served basis to residents that meet the eligibility criteria. The packages are available to new, full-time residents of the City of Orillia that have moved to Orillia from another location within the last six months (based on the date of application).
