World News Day helps to highlight the importance of independent, reliable journalism. It celebrates the stories, the people, the reporting and the professional news organizations who are responsible for creating and sharing news around the world.
Here at OrilliaMatters we are dedicated to bringing you the stories that matter most in our community. We share your neighbours’ accomplishments, alert you to breaking news, and hold those in power accountable.
Reporting on the news is a 24/7 job. Our passionate local staff works diligently to provide Orillia with informative and engaging content, with news updated as it happens.
Over the past year, OrilliaMatters has been with you every moment, helping to keep you informed during the municipal election, shedding light on the changes and cutbacks that have resulted in the election of Doug Ford and writing stories every day about the people in Orillia - from important local fundraisers to high school sports to people-focused features to tragedies on our roads and everything in between.
When something happens in Orillia, you can count on us to be there and to provide comprehensive, unbiased professional coverage.
As we commemorate World News Day and the important community role we hold as a platform for sharing news and information with you each day, we would also like to take a minute to thank you, the community, for demonstrating local news matters by continuing to visit OrilliaMatters.
