NEWS RELEASE
COUNTY OF SIMCOE
*************************
The County of Simcoe is hosting two virtual public information sessions on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 from 2 to 3 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. to gather resident feedback on the design and layout of the County’s proposed development on the former Orillia District Collegiate and Vocational Institute (ODCVI) secondary school property.

The project addresses urgent needs for affordable housing, as well as community support services for seniors, families and residents.

Following an extensive community consultation process conducted in 2019, the new County of Simcoe Social and Community Services and Housing Development in Orillia has been professionally designed to provide an attractive central access point for a range of much needed multi-generational health and social services in an on-site hub setting.

Community Hubs are valuable resources for local communities. The development in Orillia will:

  • Address urgent needs for affordable housing solutions in the Orillia area
  • Recognize the convenience of co-location of community services for residents
  • Assist with more co-ordinated service delivery
  • Aid easier referral processes

The public information sessions will begin with a presentation followed by an interactive question and answer session.
