An Orillia doctor answered the call for help in the wake of 9/11 and the catastrophe of Katrina. So, it seemed only natural for him to jump in to fill an information void during the pandemic. Check out our weekly profile here.

The Refillery District in downtown Orillia sells food and other items with a focus on the environment and accessibility. Read all about it in Nathan Taylor’s weekly Food and Drink column.

It’s Black History Month. So, in our weekly profile, we turn the spotlight on Tshweu Moleme, a Black Orillia man who is striving to make a difference in his adopted community.

Music is the soundtrack of our lives. It’s important. But, as reporter Shawn Gibson points out in his column, it’s very challenging to select a favourite song as it changes with the seasons and with our moods.
