Township of Oro-Medonte

The Township of Oro-Medonte is a rural jewel located in the County of Simcoe less than one hour north of Toronto, nestled between the cities of Barrie and Orillia, with direct access to Highways 11, 12 and 400.

With a population of 23,000, Oro-Medonte offers the largest geographic area in the County of Simcoe, covering a land mass of 61,000 hectares, stretching from the westerly border with Barrie, the southerly border with Lake Simcoe, the easterly border with Orillia and Severn Township, and the northerly border shared with Tay and Severn Townships.

Oro-Medonte is home to the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport; one of the newest and best positioned regional airport facilities in Canada, that is fully serviced by the Canada Border Service Agency, and maintains a Commercial Port-Of-Entry status. We are also home to Burl’s Creek Events Grounds; a well-known premier outdoor event venue featuring over 600 acres of pristinely landscaped grounds including multiple natural amphitheatres, and forested performance areas. Burl’s Creek has hosted several well recognized artists over the years including The Rolling Stones and Neil Young.

Several established commercial businesses are located in Oro-Medonte, with the industrial sector continuing to grow. Complementing the industrial sector are service, specialty, and tourism related businesses, including two popular alpine ski areas (Horseshoe Resort and Mount St. Louis Moonstone) and Hardwood Ski and Bike, a well-known nordic ski, mountain biking, and hiking area.

Township Council and staff are committed to sustainable, well-planned development, resulting in Oro-Medonte being a vibrant community for local residents and visitors.
