Orillia is More Than Just Stephen Leacock

This was a detail of the places around Orillia that have some historical, cultural, artistic, sports, or other connection to the city.
Many people know of Stephen Leacock's link to Orillia, and many have passed by on their way to Casino Rama, or by boat going north up Lake Couchiching to the Severn River/Canal system.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Not so far from Toronto, but always near the water
  • Cons:The traffic going north or going to Casino Rama
  • In a nutshell:A wonderful classic Ontario town that is rapidly growing
  • Last visit to Orillia: Jun 2005
