Over the past year, we’ve been sharing our love for Orangeville. We’ve introduced you to some of the people who live, work, and contribute to our community and have given them the opportunity to explain why they love our town. The reasons are plentiful and diverse, but one theme seems to run through them all. It’s not a single place, person, or activity that makes Orangeville so special. Instead, it’s the collection of people, sights, sounds, and tastes that create unique moments and ensure that every experience – big or small – is one to remember.  

We've compiled a review of a few local faces who have proudly declared why they #LoveOrangeville. Along with many others, they are at the heart of every experience in our town and we invite you to follow along as the introductions continue.
