Thank you for making OrilliaMatters this city’s most vital, most talked-about and most-trusted source for local news and everything that matters to people who live in Orillia.
In August, pages on OrilliaMatters were viewed more than 1.4 million times! That is a staggering number that shows how we have quickly become your go-to site.
Whether it’s breaking news or features on new businesses or profiles of young athletes eyeing the Olympics, you can count on us for the story.
We were the first news outlet to break the news that the Ontario Energy Board had rejected a potential deal between Orillia Power and Hydro One.
We were there to provide heart-wrenching comments from the owner of Studabakers when the popular downtown restaurant was gutted by fire.
When a wrong-way driver caused carnage on Highway 11, we were there to explain what happened and why.
But we also keep you informed about what’s happening in your community by publicizing the many events, festivals and happenings that are planned.
Every day, we profile the people who make this community tick and tell their stories.
We are at every city council meeting on your behalf, shedding light on what is happening at City Hall and, equally important, what it will mean to you.
We love Orillia like you love Orillia. And we’re just getting started! But, we’re happy you are along for the ride!

OrilliaMatters is an editorially independent news source. We do not use a paywall on our site, as we believe everyone should have equal access to the local news affecting them. Especially in our current news climate, reliable local news is more valuable than ever.
