Expression of Interest

Orillia Area CDC is seeking applications to fill vacancies on its volunteer committees. 

The CDC provides counseling, training & funding to local businesses to support job creation, growth and innovation. We also work with many community partners on various community economic development projects to build an economy in Ontario’s Lake Country that is prosperous, growing and sustainable.

Volunteer roles are generally for a 3-year term beginning on July 1, 2023. (Although, the meeting schedule in July and August is very reduced.) The Investment Committee (loan review) generally meets twice per month, and all other committees meet once per month.

Interested individuals are invited to complete our Expression of Interest form. Please also submit a biography and/or resume with the form.
