The Opinicon has been delighting visitors for generations. First built as a private residence in the late 1870s, its prime location on Opinicon Lake made it a draw for fishermen and tourists alike. While the property changed hands a number of times through the early 1900s, it was finally purchased by W.E. Phillips in 1921 and reopened as The Opinicon Club. The propertys first cottages, many of which still stand today, were built on the site not long after. Run by the same family for the next 90 years, The Opinicon quickly became a popular destination for boaters and cottagers in search of a hot meal or an ice cream cone, as well as for the many families who would stay for weeks at a time, enjoying a close-knit summer community. In time, however, with many of its buildings in need of serious repair, business at The Opinicon soon slowed and the resort eventually closed. The site was first put on the market in 2012. Current owners Fiona McKean and Tobias Lütke purchased The Opinicon in 2015. Their goal has been to reinvigorate and modernize the Grand Old Dame of the Rideau, while maintaining its distinctive character. After a period of extensive renovation, The Opinicon has been welcoming visitors again since the summer of 2015.

‘The Optimist Citizen’ is India's First Purely Positive Good NEWSPAPER ,presenting Good News ranging from inspiring stories, to stories of unsung heroes, good governance, achievements, acts of courage, and everything that can create optimism and bring back hope in society. It is a newspaper that chooses to bury all the bad and negative news, by bringing out positive stories from around the globe, to show that there is more good happening than bad. “The Optimist Citizen” is neither an investment by a big firm nor a sister paper of some leading daily, but is an outcome of frustration of youth channelizing their energies in the right direction. Through our newspaper we wish to bring you positive news, demonstrating the best of humankind, even in difficult and tragic situations. Whilst the national and global media keeps us informed of world events, unfortunately the only news we hear or see, all too often leading to gloom and doom. The Optimist Citizen seeks to bring to light those inspirational stories that are often not picked up by the TV Channels or newspapers, as they do not create sensation, but have great stories behind them. The Optimist Citizen will prove, that the world is a much better place, than what we read, hear, see and think.
