The Orillia Spirit:
Something about the place immortalized in Stephen Leacock's classic Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town has always inspired its people to reach for their dreams. Turn-of-the-twentieth-century leaders coined the phrase "the Orillia Spirit" to describe their drive to make the town a social, moral, and economic leader of Canada. The results have been comic, tragic, and heroic, as shown in this colourful history of Orillia.

The Orillia Spirit:
- Muddling through Canada's first, and hilarious, experiment with daylight savings time, Mayor "Daylight Bill" Frost had it.
- Creating his own money and dreaming a drainage ditch would become a tourist attraction, Mayor Ben Johnson had it.
- Taking his town's electric company by force, Mayor J.B. Tudhope had it.
- Inventing early forms of medicare and the first RVs, dreaming of universities and folk festivals, battling for decades over liquor and rinks, ordinary people had it.
