The Anten Mills Community Centre’s cultural heritage value lies in its historical and associative ties to the community and early education system, being the former Anten Mills School. The original school was built in 1875 and could only hold 90 students. The Anten Mills Community Centre continues to be used by the community and was officially designated in 2021.

The Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) is the steward for the Sir Sam Steele Memorial Building in downtown Orillia. The museum brings people together, providing a safe space for collaboration to inspire creativity and celebrate history. The museum is responsible for the ongoing development and preservation of the cultural vitality in Orillia and surrounding areas.

This centre offers educational workshops relating to all aspects of the natural world. From snowshoeing and mammal tracking throughout the wetlands in the winter to learning about butterflies, frogs, ephemeral flowers and building pollinating gardens in the warmer months. You can also learn about mushrooms and the great role that fungi play. Master Naturalist, Bob Bowles, is the instructor.
