ENGAGING CONVERSATIONS
Engaging Conversations with Living Memories is a new initiative working in partnership with the Orillia Museum of Art and History to collect stories of Orillia's past. Visits with seniors at retirement homes and long term care facilities include enjoyable music, dance and museum artifacts that bring forth personal stories of Orillia's colourful history which are recorded and transcribed into the museum's historical database.
