“City of Orillia has a long history of industrial operations dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Tudhope Motor Company made carriages and automobiles. In July 1997, the City of Orillia established its municipal offices in the western half of the restored downtown factory. In 2001, a section of the building was recognized as a culturally significant property under the Ontario Heritage Act. A state-of-the-art Council Chamber with a seating capacity of 135 was added to the structure during its preservation and renovation. The upper floors have been turned into high-quality apartments, while the lower levels are used for classrooms, labs, and a library for Lakehead University's downtown campus. In addition, there is a full gallery of photos of the members of the Orillia Hall of Fame located within the building. The privately owned eastern section of the building has also been transformed.”

LEACOCK MUSEUM REVIEWS

More so than the museum itself, I would like to make a glowing review of the guided tour of the house and gardens. Our tour was given by a young history student working at the museum during the summer season. He was personable, engaging, and willing and able to incorporate our questions into the flow of the tour. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour fly by until we had actually gone over the allotted time. Completely lost in the storytelling, we were suddenly snapped out of it when our guide was called back to man the till in the museum. Time flies when you dip your toe in the flow history.

A fabulous location for an author to live, cottage, entertain, and write. You are free to roam around most of the house and gardens. There is a pretty bay and boathouse at the point of the property. You'll learn about Stephen Leacock's life and impact.

Beautiful grounds and a very interesting building! It takes about 20-30 minutes to peruse the whole place, but it's so majestic and peaceful, it's totally worth a visit!.

CITY OF ORILLIA REVIEWS

We are local housing developers and the City of Orillia has been very accommodating in assisting us with creating local units. They are easy to communicate with, have various departments coordinated into our project and certainly have the communities best interest in mind. They understand the need for housing and are helping us help Orillia create homes!.

Clean and picturesque town by the water. Central location relative to Toronto and Simcoe-Muskoka. Cute and friendly shops. Great spots to eat. Developing city.

I had to pick up a building permit today and everyone was very nice and helpful.

CITY OF ORILLIA OPERA HOUSE REVIEWS

I've taken my family to see many shows here, and we've never been disappointed! The beautiful, old building has been very well maintained and portrays that sense of grandure. Every time we climb the grand staircase, we know something magical is about to begin. There is a lovely balcony with seating and elegant architectural features. The washrooms are clean and well stocked. Staff are polite and courteous... always cheerful and helpful. Tickets can be ordered online or in person... but the early birds get the best seats! Refreshments can be purchased in the green room, and they are licensed for alchohol. Great historic opera house... you'll be glad you came!l!.

I absolutely love this venue! The architecture is just lovely, as are the staff. In particular I would like to give a shout out to Emma who recently helped me with a customer service request. My husband and I always enjoy going to the performances at the OOH.

Staff and crew are wonderful. Very helpful and kind. Great theatre for shows. Our band, "Green River Revival" had an awesome time performing at the Opera house. Thank you for having us...Top notch!.
