Winter in Orillia is much like winter in many other Canadian communities. With the cold and the snow comes the opportunity for the participation in many winter sports that the area offers.  From hockey games to hitting the slopes for skiing or snowboarding, or watching your favourite figure skater completing gravity defying jumps to throwing curling rocks towards the button – Orillia is in a flurry of winter sports activities for all ages.
