Long term: The cost of living in Orillia, for a single person, is over $2,000 per month. But rentals are hard to come by. Vacancy is less than 1%. (As an interesting aside, social assistance in Ontario pays, I believe, a little over $700 dollars per month for basic needs and shelter.)
Short term: Hotel rates are between $70 and $300 per night.
Current rates may be lower due to the pandemic. But I do not teach in person during pandemics.
There are Bed and Breakfast, and Couch-surfing options, through Couchsurfing.com
Restaurant meals can range from $15 to $50 per meal. When I eat out, I hardly ever pay more than $20.
My dream is to build a full-time residential training facility where people can board and train. An alternate vision is to get myself installed at a nice resort where I can teach the guests all day. *sigh*
