Why Orillia?

“Why Orillia? The answer is Orillia is home to some of the most amazing people and businesses, is an incredibly giving community and has some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Ontario. And I want to give back to this community by highlighting some of those amazing people, businesses and places.”

Starting in May 2018, Jordan filmed a different Orillia business or person every week — free, with no real estate pitch. OrilliaMatters published the series every Thursday. Close to 100 episodes were made before the pandemic; 54 are collected here.
