Orillia Ontario: Few would argue that the 2011 spring season has been cold, wet and windy. Even for those who love the great outdoors, it has been a challenge to get outside and have fun.  However, on Saturday April 30th, under beautiful sunny skies, over 250 children took part in the 15th annual OPP Kids Day at Tudhope Park in Orillia.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park, Lake Simcoe: Despite almost constant rain and miserable fishing conditions, an astounding 78 teams competed in the first annual PERCHIN FOR MS Fundraiser Perch Fishing Tournament Sat. March 12, 2011. "I was completely flabbergasted that so many anglers came out to fish this event," said host and organizer Doug Poirier. "These anglers all heard the same weather forecasts we did - and all knew the rains were coming. They decided to fish anyway and although they got wet, they did not let the rain dampen their spirits," he said.

On Saturday October 23rd, 2010 Canada's premier bass tournament will take place out of Couchiching Beach Park in downtown Orillia Ontario.
