Photo Round Up - 2025 Ice Storm Reflection
As we pass the one-year mark since the ice storm hit our community, we thought we’d share some of the photos submitted by residents showcasing the aftermath. While these photos remind us of the hardships experienced during that time, we also remember how our community came together and supported one another during and after the storm. Fenelon Falls may be a small town, but it has many big hearts.

Maryboro Lodge Personality: Lorne Thurston
From the time he was a boy, Lorne was very interested in bees, and persuaded his parents to help him get his own hive when he was 8 or 9 years old. It was an unusual interest; there were not many other beekeepers around Dunsford. As a teenager, he built a honey house on his parents’ farm. At 2,2 he fell ill with Polio and would never be as strong again—he could no longer lift his arm over his shoulder.
