BARRIE, ONT. After multiple instances of large crowds converging last summer, the Town of Innisfil is taking steps to prevent similar cases this summer. As of May 21, the start of the Victoria Day long weekend, parking at Innisfil Beach Park will be restricted to residents only. A parking gate will be installed at the entrance of Innisfil Beach Park, which will be staffed on weekends until June 27. To help reduce crowds and out-of-area travel, we re imposing measures that will keep our community safe while the province s vaccination program reaches more people, Mayor Lynn Dollin said in a news release. Our residents did such a great job following the COVID-19 measures and guidelines at our beaches last summer, and we are counting on our citizens to show that same level of support and co-operation again.

The City of Windsor has a new corporate leader on the way, with the announcement that Jason Reynar has been hired from the Town of Innisfil to replace veteran chief administrative officer Onorio Colucci.
Colucci, known as “O.C.” within the corridors of city hall, is retiring after 37 years, the last five as CAO. Prior to that, as chief financial officer for 11 years, he “helped achieve an unprecedented string of fiscally responsible budgets that showed respect for Windsor taxpayers,” Mayor Drew Dilkens said Tuesday. “As chief administrative officer, he’s cemented Windsor’s place as a growing community and, most recently, helped lead the municipal response to COVID-19.”
