Residents of idyllic small town on Lake Simcoe worried about huge high-rise condo project
Depending on your point of view, it s either a glimpse into the future of development in southern Ontario, or a dangerous waste of good farmland. Either way, the proposed Orbit development planned for Innisfill, a town of 37,000 just southeast of Barrie, is making residents take notice.

BARRIE, ONT. There were some tense moments on Lake Simcoe Saturday as three vehicles broke through the ice on Cook s Bay. No one was injured as the vehicles sank into about four feet of frigid water. A tow truck pulled the vehicles out while scores of people watched on. It s a reminder of how uneven and unreliable ice on Lake Simcoe remains despite this week s deep freeze. Even after repeated warnings from police and ice hut operators, about a dozen people parked on the lake Saturday morning. Do not park on the ice, do not drive on the ice, it s not safe yet, says Jack Hayward, producer of the Blue Ice Report.
