About Orillia, Ontario
Known as the "Sunshine City," Orillia sits at the heart of Ontario's lake country, on the narrows between Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe. Incorporated as a village in 1867 but home to Indigenous fishing and trading sites dating back over 4,000 years, Orillia is home to around 33,000 residents and blends a beautiful waterfront with a bustling small-city downtown.
Renters here enjoy one of Ontario's longest-running Farmers' Markets, performances at the historic Orillia Opera House, and well-maintained waterfront parks and trails perfect for walking, hiking, or simply taking in the view. The city's convenient public transit makes it easy to explore both downtown and the wider community, from Couchiching Beach Park to the many arenas and fitness facilities in town.
