Beginning in January 2020, all City of Orillia council committee and council meetings will start at 6 p.m. in Orillia council chamber, 50 Andrew St. S. Special meetings, public planning meetings and closed-session meeting times may vary.
This time change marks the conclusion of a pilot project, which had council committee meetings starting at 2 p.m. and council meetings starting at 7 p.m.
