Renowned Orillian and humorist, Stephen Leacock can’t help but laugh while getting his photo taken.

Though some may discount their stories as unimportant, each member of our community is a significant contributor to Orillia’s narrative.

Too much has been said of the heroes of history… too little of the amiable, the kindly, the tolerant.

– Stephen Leacock
