The Packet and Times began publishing in 1870, making it one of the oldest continuous businesses in the Orillia’s history.
In 2017, at the age of 147, The Packet was just one of many small newspapers forced to close when two of Canada’s biggest paper chains suddenly shut down forty-one operations across Ontario.
