I live in Orillia currently located in Simcoe North, ON & have recently discovered there is a plan to change the boundaries of Simcoe North & change the name to Penetanguishine- Couchiching. A number of questions come to mind as follows:

1. Why has this been kept quiet. A neighbour discovered this plan by accident & asked others in the neighbourhood if we knew & no one did. Secrecy promotes suspicion.
2. What are the reasons for this change? I would appreciate hearing about the Pros & Cons.
3. What are the affects on;
   • population growth
   • taxation
   • housing issues
   • overall economy
   • the future of Orillia specifically & our county in general

I would appreciate a response at your earliest convenience & will share your response with neighbours.

Thank you
