Home Town of Stephen Leacock

Stephen P. H Butler Leacock was the best-known English-speaking humorist in the world between 1915 and 1925. Leacock’s two masterpieces are Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912) and Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (1914), both of which explore themes of politics, religion and society in two very different settings.

When Stephen was six, he came out with his family to Canada, where they settled on a farm near the village of Sutton, Ontario, and the shores of Lake Simcoe. There Stephen was home-schooled until he was enrolled in Upper Canada College, Toronto.

Leacock died of throat cancer in Toronto in 1944. By his wishes, after his death, Leacock was buried in the St George the Martyr Churchyard (St. George’s Church, Sibbald Point), Sutton.

The church opened its doors on January 1858.

Sutton Fair and Horse Show

The second weekend in August

The Sutton Fair is the weekend after the Civic/Provincial holiday. There is plenty to see and do at the Sutton Fair, from Demo Derby, Tractor Pull, Horse and Sheep Shows, a Fabulous Midway and many other attractions and entertainment.

 

In the 1850s, Sutton was a thriving town, joining the two boundaries of North Gwillimbury and Georgina, making it the perfect location for the annual one-day October Fair. By 1857 the Fair had increased to a yearly two-day event.
