'Worst year': Orillia business owner calls for downtown parking changes
OrilliaMatters 9The lot that this merchant mentioned is nearly always full. This has been the worst winter in more than 20 years so it only seems right that this would be the worst year for foot traffic. I use the app when parking downtown and it works quite well and I am more than willing to pay that price. It keeps my taxes at a level that is sustainable.

Orillia residents reeling from ‘unprecedented’ ice storm (7 photos)
OrilliaMatters 9Here is “just a fact” This ice storm is unprecedented and the delays are all over the area not just in Hydro ones jurisdiction. Instead of complaining how about thanking those that are working overtime to mitigate the storm damage. Congratulate the city for a great deal getting 27million heritage fund and preserving the generation side of Orillia power while allowing Hydro one to take over the costly job of delivering the power.

City to spend $6.6M to refurbish cooling system at Orillia rec centre
OrilliaMatters 9I disagree the Rec centre is the MOST USED facility in the city of Orillia and has been since it opened. It is well run and user friendly. Try any of the facilities’ components (the pool, the gyms, the running track , and the weight training facility), the are worth every penny the city has spent.

City doubling down on debt for Brian Orser renos, Laclie Street work
OrilliaMatters 6A little bit of over estimation on your part. It is the most used facility in the City and was well worth the cost. Which if I am not mistaken was around 60million.

City doubling down on debt for Brian Orser renos, Laclie Street work
OrilliaMatters 6it is the City's mandate to keep infrastructure up to date and provide decent facilities for their tax payers. The city is in a very favourable position as compared to most other other places in Ontario.

'We have to build': Council eyes affordable housing funding hike
OrilliaMatters 6Be careful where you spend our taxpayer dollars. It is not the sole responsibility of the Council to provide housing for the homeless. It is the Federal and Provincial government to provide the majority of funding. Taxpayers can barely afford their own homes, and increasing funding over and above what we already give is not what Taxpayers want or can afford.
