'Really bad decision': City, developer ink deal on Orchard Point condo
OrilliaMatters 3How people support this government is beyond me given the state of our health care and education system.I hope you don’t get sick. Every healthy person (who hasn’t needed health care) is shocked to see the state of affairs when their health deteriorates.

Ford's surprise announcement of new hospital 'wonderful news for Orillia'
OrilliaMatters 10I was thinking he was here to provide blankets, water, food, generators for the tens of thousands without power for one week.I’ll give him a credit. He’s a shrewd politician. People are suffering like never before and this guy is making announcements. I’d love a new hospital, but perhaps visit the surrounding townships where people have sewage in their basements,

Ramara Township held two 'illegal' meetings: Ontario ombudsman
OrilliaMatters 4Sounds similar to when the township actively solicited feedback on social media for water rates and overall budget in Nov 2024. Our neighbourhood submitted feedback by the deadline. Council voted on the budget. It was Then that we learned that the community feedback was provided after council voted. When I questioned whether the clerk, I was told not to worry. The feedback would be in the meeting minutes. I asked how they could be in the meeting minutes if they weren’t brought forward and discussed in the meeting. Either sloppy or shady. Take your pick!

OrilliaMatters 1$5 a month increase?The typical user is spending over $2100 a year on waste and water.This is expected to be approx. $3600 by 2032. Ramara has one of the highest water and sewage rates in the province. What the users want is an easy to understand explanation of why the rates are so high and what plans are in place to make it more affordable. https://ramara.civicweb.net/document/87850/Water%20and%20Wastewater%20rate%20review%20for%202024%20to%2020.pdf?handle=869340F0FA3C4BEA9DEFC87663ABF5DF
