A film crew working on a television series will take over a street in downtown Orillia next week.

Wildbrain Edge Productions Inc. will film Precision, a new series following the lives of elite teenage figure skaters as they train for a world championship.

The crew will be on location on Mississaga Street East between Peter Street South and Matchedash Street on Tuesday and Wednesday until 10 p.m.

Sidewalks and businesses in the area will remain open during filming, but traffic will be staggered to accommodate the film shoot during the mornings of both days.

The City says production vehicles will be parked in municipal lots three and 15 on Colborne Street, and on the south side of Mississaga Street East and Matchedash Street.

Orillia and Barrie will be featured in the television series as the character’s fictional hometown.
