Director, People and Culture

at  Township of OroMedonte

Welcome to Oro-Medonte, a progressive community of 23,000 people centrally located between the cities of Barrie and Orillia, and less than a 60-minute drive to the GTA. The Township of Oro-Medonte offers a unique blend of outdoor recreation and agricultural richness. Imagine spending your weekends exploring scenic trails, paddle boarding on local lakes and rivers, or enjoying a family picnic at one of our many parks. Our thriving agricultural sector not only supplies fresh, locally grown food but also instills a deep sense of community pride and sustainability. Here, neighbors and colleagues know each other by name and come together to support one another, creating a place where community spirit and collaboration are at the heart of everyday life. At the core of everything we do are the people who drive our mission forward and have a meaningful impact on the community we serve and help shape. We are committed to a culture of creativity, collaboration, respect and integrity where empowerment and well-being are prioritized.
