The Orillia OPP Museum is officially open once again to the general public.
Chris Johnstone, the curator of the museum inside the force's General Headquarters building, was joined by OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique at the ribbon-cutting ceremony this week.
"We are thrilled to invite you to come and see the all-new OPP Museum exhibit, Behind the Badge, where we have all new artifacts and amazing stories to share with you," Johnstone said at the reopening.
