Orillia council members are considering adding “Home of Gordon Lightfoot” to the city’s five roadway entrance signs.
At Monday’s meeting, council committee deferred the decision until its branding and way finding project is complete.
City council members discussed adding Lightfoot’s name to the signs in closed session.
The city budgeted $60,000 to hire consultants to help with a rebranding project and to develop and install wayfinding signage.
Pass the torch to Orillia
Orillia is applying to be a potential celebration community in the Toronto 2015 Torch Relay.
Toronto is hosting the 2015 Pan American/Parapan American (Pan Am) Games and is looking for communities to host the Pan Am flame.
The relay will include more than 130 celebration communities and will begin May 29, 2015.
“If selected as a celebration community, Orillia would create a community planning committee and will have the opportunity of selecting one community torchbearer to ‘shine the light on Orillia before the flame is finally led into the opening ceremony on July 20, 2015,’” states a city staff report.
The city has set aside $7,000 for torch celebrations.
