Udora

A community where there are more private roads than public roads. A Place where neighbours help neighbours. A place that few know exists even though it appears on the Ontario Road Maps.

Originally known as Snoddon Corners it was renamed in the early 1860s when it came time to select a name for the post office. 

Sitting in the outer reaches of Georgina (York Region) and Uxbridge (Durham Region) Udora is a small community that straddles the boundary between the south east corner of Georgina and the north east corner of Uxbridge. It is a community, divided by the 905 and 705 area codes, by local Municipal and Regional boundaries, and by Provincial and Federal electoral boundaries.

Camp Jõekääru

In the early 1950's the Independent Toronto Estonian Woman's Association purchased land and divided it into 150 lots for summer cottages for Estonians living in Toronto. The grounds, named Jõekääru which means river bend in English, straddle the Pefferlaw river as it winds its way through the community. With the cottages also came the Estonian Children's Camp, Which is still active today as an Estonian language immersion camp for part of the summer.

Dagny - The community it serves is far greater than the community it is located in
