Dates: October 14-15, 2023
Orillia Opera House
Enjoy a fall weekend in Orillia. It is the birthplace of Group of Seven artist Franklin Carmichael and singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. It was the place where humorist Stephen Leacock chose to build his summer home. From his boyhood days through to his adult years, it was a town beloved by pianist Glenn Gould for its quiet charm.
We will visit the OMAH (Orillia Museum of Art and History) and tour the Arts & Crafts-designed Stephen Leacock House and its grounds on the shores of Lake Couchiching. We will lunch and shop at a local favourite, the Mariposa Market.
Dinner will be reserved for us at Theo's Eatery, a restaurant highly recommended by local residents. On Sunday a local heritage guide will join us on our bus to show us architectural and historical highlights of the town (the Opera House, Tudhope Building, McNab House, Orillia Central School, amongst others) and we will visit a potter's studio in Oro Station on the way home.
