The Town of Innisfil is delighted to host the Toronto East General Hospital’s Rural Winter Retreat in partnership with the Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP) on February 3, 2012. An outstanding and exciting program is being developed. The event will be held at Innisfil Town Hall, 2101 Innisfil Beach Road, L9S 1A1.
