I noticed this school had been abandoned for quite some time near where I reside.. Did some research apparently it was supposed to be torn down but progress was halted due to native remains being found.. Only found one P.O.E. First time I explored there was only one piece of vandalism.. next time I went in it has been destroyed by people messing around, smashing out windows to doors, all the fire hoses were torn out and wrapped around stuff.. and someone had a lovely fire in the gym.. Come on people! There's really cool stuff to look at.. old record players and files of students from the 1950's.. Take pictures, leave only footprints.

Found an interesting article to read as well..

And a PDF of a book from 1903 written about Native stomping grounds in Orillia: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/bitstream/handle/1974/11872/notesonsitesofi00hunt.pdf%3Fsequence%3D1&ved=2ahUKEwiP3-2Fm8PhAhWRUt8KHQARCYEQFjADegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw1J9wRTSZNh8RkOhkQBMBnD&cshid=1554820138048
