Council slams the brakes on Laclie Street bike lanes ... for now
OrilliaMatters 11Why would the city put in bike lanes when there are bike lanes on the trail? A simple detour down Fittons would take a rider to the trail and then downtown. Waste of money in my opinion.

COLUMN: Feeling the slow burn of a speeding ticket due to cameras
OrilliaMatters 9Our neighbours got three tickets in one week. The first one was over $300. I'm sorry they have to pay these tickets but they were obviously speeding. Now they use Coldwater instead. I'd advice our OPP to hang around down there. Haha

Council to consider allowing alcohol consumption in city parks
OrilliaMatters 8Terrible idea. The problem will be some won't be just drinking one drink. Then there are the types that get nasty after consuming alcohol. Do we need this in a park where children play? I'm thinking not!!

Where did all the American booze at LCBO stores actually go?
OrilliaMatters 7Jack Daniels is very upset and claims they would rather have tariffs considering they are not earning ANYTHING at this time from Ontario. I don't usually back up Dougie but I like this.

OrilliaMatters 8To set a precedent they should have to tear down all the illegally built buildings. That would show some teeth to the procedure.

Area farms rely on 'incredibly important' foreign workers
OrilliaMatters 7When my husbands grandfather farmed in Grey county they hired sailors off the lakers in Collingwood for the winter. The sailors would live in the house with them and help on the farm with the animals etc. for the season. Mixed farmers sometimes bought equipment and shared the cost with other local farmers. They needed each other and depended on each other. Big lunches and dinners in the yard.
