On the shores of Lake Couchiching sits the quintessential Ontario city, Orillia. Each summer, its lakes entice thousands of tourists. Orillia’s story yearns for tourists to understand its history and how it became the city many travel to today. Discover Orillia from 3,000 BCE to 2024 and the notable Orillians that made the town what it is.
