The Town of Orangeville has partnered with Driftscape to introduce a whole new way to experience the community. Launched on June 28, the partnership offers a unique and safe opportunity for visitors and locals of Orangeville to explore the Town’s sights and activities.

Driftscape is a mobile app that serves as a modern-day method to highlight Orangeville’s diverse set of activities, sites and stories. The app showcases the public art, historic landmarks, and recreational activities that can be found in Orangeville and entices locals and visitors to tour and explore each point of interest. This same information is also available on our digital guide. Users can discover attractions from the comfort of home and use Driftscape as a planning tool in advance of a visit to the community.

Orangeville’s partnership with Driftscape demonstrates how the Town is evolving its promotion of the community’s tourism assets. The app will allow users to easily find the tree sculptures, utility box art, murals, and monuments that comprise the Town’s growing public art collection. Each location features images and details to explain its significance. The popular Footsteps From Our Past walking tours have also been added to the app. The three self-guided routes lead users through Orangeville’s history, highlighting significant buildings and structures that make up the foundation of today’s community. “Our public art collection and heritage buildings are popular attractions for both locals and visitors,” says Ruth Phillips, Manager of Economic Development and Culture. “Driftscape allows users to create tours and experiences with these assets in a safe, accessible, and interactive way.”

With more than 100 points of interest mapped in the app, Orangeville has successfully created a one-of-a-kind self-guided exploration experience for its visitors. For residents who prefer to stay closer to home, Driftscape represents a compelling opportunity for them to explore their own backyards and discover local gems that are often overlooked. User engagement features such as augmented reality and offline exploration elevate the experience even further and make the app suitable for audiences across various age groups, catering to their unique preferences and interests. Driftscape delivers valuable and current information in a way that appeals to users, helping them to plan their trips safely and conveniently, even if they are on the go. Notifications are also available to highlight unique tourism opportunities that surround users as they explore the region.

To experience Orangeville in this new way, download the free Driftscape app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Simply search for Orangeville to get started with your interactive experience.
