If you love to sing and support your community, the Orillia Vocal Ensemble (OVE) has a place for you.
The OVE will be resuming rehearsals and welcoming new members on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
The OVE is a community choir led by music director Blair Bailey that has raised well over $150,000 for local charities through their performances over the years.
