Price tag for Champlain statue moves to date is more than $150,000
OrilliaMatters 7It's called The Orillia Spirit. And it seems to be getting stronger every decade.Several volumes were written about it by a local author.Great read, explains a lot.Aside from that, it's funny how Dunford is so concerned about the cost of this boondoggle, yet so willing to spend our money for her own leftie dreams.

Campbell says councillors will have blood on their hands if someone gets hurt at Orillia park
OrilliaMatters 13Wow, Campbell never said 5 words his entire last term, now he's got plenty to say about everything.On a somewhat related but different topic, have you been to the new boat ramp/parking lot area after dark?DARK being the operative word. There are no lights. PLEASE tell me we are waiting for lighting, and this is NOT a million dollar change order! (which wouldn't be a surprise BTW)Talk about safety. Accidents and injuries waiting to happen. What a town.

'Infuriating': Resident frustrated after city denies pothole claim
OrilliaMatters 11Dear Strut Lady;Thank you for letting us know about that pothole. Although the Town of Orillia regularly inspects our roads, I guess none of the staff who report to me ever noticed that one. Thank you, we had no idea. Rest assured, as evident in our road maintenance program, and in fact every service we provide to taxpayers, the Town strives to meet MINIMUM standards, whatever that may be. And rest assured, we will continue to strive for minimum quality standards in every area of service we provide to our taxpayers.Sincerely, Director of Lame Excuses Town of Orillia

Petition pushes Orillia to revisit winter control policy after harsh winters
OrilliaMatters 12Brad, I agree to a point, that is too much to expect, but...Last December I looked out my front door to see an ambulance stuck in the middle of the street, 2 emts and 2 neighbours pushing a gurney through almost a foot of snow to the house down the street. We are told that the crews meet minimum standards, but there should be a plan B in the case of extreme snowfalls if and when they occur. To spout "minimum standard" sounds like an excuse.
