Maskless protesters rally in Orillia

Group gathered in front of Simcoe North MPP Jill Dunlop's office before marching toward downtown, chanting and waving placards

A group of about 60 to 70 people, many with signs and none wearing masks, gathered in front of Simcoe North MPP Jill Dunlop's office in Orillia on Friday morning at a 'freedom rally.'

After standing outside the office for a while, the group walked down West Street toward Orillia's downtown, chanting for freedom and new leadership.

Some youngsters carried signs that said 'my childhood is essential', while others carried handmade placards saying all businesses are essential.

A man wearing nothing but a blue bathing suit  who has been front and centre at recent weekend protests in Barrie  led the parade of protesters that included kids to senior citizens.

There was no police presence as of noon.
