Breaking news is all about the when, but what if you could find out what’s happening in town based on where it took place?
That’s the idea behind the latest feature on OrilliaMatters, an interactive news map that plots recent stories based on their location.
Want to know what's going on in your neighbourhood? A drop-down menu lets you choose between all local news or police news or local sports or arts and entertainment.
It’s also a handy place to go to find out what’s going on downtown, what new local businesses have opened, or to check out hotspots for collisions, break-ins and other crime reported to us by police.
The map is available now on the drop-down menu at the top of the page under Local News, but you'll need to be signed into your FREE OrilliaMatters account to access it.
If you already have one, you're ready to check out the news map now.
If you don't have an account, signing up is super easy, and quick. About 10 seconds quick. Fill out the form here.
