The following is in response to 'LETTER: Orillia missed 'golden opportunity' to create lake access,' published Nov. 12.
Konrad Brenner’s letter regarding Orillia’s lack of public waterfront is very interesting.
The mayor and members of Orillia’s council really should take a short drive south where they could see Barrie’s waterfront park. It is beautiful. It is popular. It is very well used.
Finally, it has something for “everybody” – there are manicured grassy areas, children’s play areas, paths (some maintained year-round), a war memorial, and areas left for nature where foxes are known to den.
Orillia can and should do better for its citizens.
