Local officials are reacting to yesterday’s news that Georgian College will consolidate its Orillia and Muskoka campuses into the Barrie Campus by fall 2026.

The Orillia Campus is scheduled to close in summer 2026, with academic programs transitioning to the Barrie Campus starting in May. The Muskoka Campus in Bracebridge will officially close in August 2026.

Statement from Parry Sound – Muskoka MPP Graydon Smith:

“I am deeply saddened by Georgian College’s decision to close its Bracebridge campus. This is a disappointing development for students and the community, and I fully recognize the challenges it creates. I remain committed to working and advocating tirelessly to secure funding that expands access to post-secondary education and skills training across Parry Sound–Muskoka.”
