The Group discussed the following:
Clustering is feasible and has financial benefits but would greatly
affect the sense of community;
. Clustering would be difficult given the geographical layout of Oro-
Medonte;
. It was noted that the report refers to Horseshoe Valley as a Resort;
. For future development, the Township should review more thoroughly
the land acquired as part of the Parkland Dedication requirements;
. Indoor facilities, if marketed appropriately, could be highly beneficial to
the community;
. The current Guthrie site offers exceptional potentials due to visibility,
accessibility and land availability;
. The potential to have sites declared a heritage site should be reviewed;
. The advantages and disadvantages of central bookings;
. The importance of standardized forms for consistency and tracking;
. The naming of specific agencies/private businesses should be
removed in order to encourage other potential public/private
partnerships with private corporations;
. Various activities (i.e. sports, arts and culture) and growing trends were
reviewed;
. The need for proper marketing of the current facilities;
. Grants being pursued by the Township.
