The group Remember Every Name claims to have found evidence that
sewage pipes have disturbed 150 graves in a cemetery attached to Orillia’s Huronia Regional Centre.
The centre was originally named the Orillia Asylum for Idiots and housed developmentally delayed individuals from
1876-2009.
From 1876 to 1971 over 4,000 individuals housed in the Asylum were buried with only numbers marking their graves. The Archives of Ontario has a list of people who died in the notorious
Huronia Regional Centre, but won't release it without a freedom of
information (FOI) request. This is the story of one of the children buried anonymously in the cemetery under
Grave Marker 1751
