Join us on Saturday, February 7, at 2 p.m. in the Library Program Room for "Stories From the Underground Railroad". This program explores courage, resistance, community, and the pursuit of freedom, while also acknowledging the harsh realities of slavery. This is an opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect together through stories that continue to shape our world today.

The program is in partnership with the Orillia & Area Black Community Association, and will be led by Alasoba Kelsy Braide, a champion for change in the Orillia community, alongside Doug Minter, Partnerships Sponsorship Manager for the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce.

All ages, everyone is welcome. No registration required.

Today I am taking a moment to honour Dr. Gladys West — a brilliant mathematician whose quiet, steady work helped shape the GPS technology we rely on every single day.

Her story is such a powerful reminder that world-changing contributions do not always come with spotlights. Sometimes they come from dedication, curiosity, and a refusal to let barriers define what’s possible.

Grateful for her legacy, her brilliance, and the doors she opened for so many.

Today, we remember.
We honour the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served—and those who still do.
Their stories live on in our silence, our gratitude, and our promise to never forget.
Lest we forget.
