ORILLIA, ONTARIO |
BarrieThe City of Barrie
continues to be one of Canada's fastest growing and dynamic cities. Its location in
proximity to the great outdoors and recreational activities promotes an active and healthy
lifestyle. Barrie manages to achieve an important balance; with ample parkland, a
beautiful waterfront and heritage downtown it maintains a community-minded 'small town
feeling', yet at the same time continues to grow and prosper with all of today's modern
conveniences, business and development. With these benefits, Barrie is not only a
wonderful place to vacation, but also an ideal spot to call home.
At the north end of Barrie is the Highway 11 and Highway
400 interchange. Many consider this the gateway to northern Ontario resort destinations
(referred to as cottage country).
Barrie is also home to the MacLaren Art Centre, an
innovative art gallery that supports the visual arts in Simcoe County. It inspired the
"Art City" project, which has had many different large sculptures installed
around the city. These can be found in parks and along the scenic waterfront.

Orillia
The City of Orillia can
be found nestled in the heart of Ontario's Lake Country. We are very fortunate to be
located on the shores of two beautiful and plentiful natural resources, Lake Simcoe and
Lake Couchiching.
The public spaces around
the city have been designed or have evolved to take advantage of the natural and tranquil
splendor of the lakes. Boat launches, sandy beaches, clean parks, historic monuments and
even a miniature train ride compliment the beauty of our waterfront spaces. The Port of
Orillia provides our marine visitors with docking and launching facilities all within a
stroll from downtown shopping and dining. |
