You have been an important part of the OrilliaMatters story.
You have read our news coverage, shared our articles with friends and family, and reached out to us with news tips from around the city.
Your support has been invaluable to growing local news coverage in our community. And we want to show our appreciation to you, our readers.
So, we connected with thousands of you to find out how we can work together to continue to strengthen our community and make your OrilliaMatters experience even better.
Your direction was clear and as a result, we are excited to announce the OrilliaMatters+ membership program, a new program designed by our readers, for our readers.
Rest assured: local news on OrilliaMatters.com will always be free to everyone. Period. An OrilliaMatters+ membership will simply allow you to access a host of other great features, too!
OrilliaMatters+ membership includes exclusive access to new editorial initiatives, special features, insider content, and a host of amazing member-only rewards, such as giveaways, local auctions, events, and front-of-the-line purchases. It's everything you told us you were looking for in a membership program and more!
But it’s not only about the exciting extras. The membership program will have a tangible impact on our community. 100 per cent of the money generated from OrilliaMatters+ goes to fund local journalism, whether that's broadening local coverage, adding new jobs, or creating scholarships for the journalists of tomorrow.
In 2021 alone, Village Media’s membership programs across Ontario are thrilled to be establishing five $1,000 scholarships in Ontario for journalism students, directly investing in the future of journalism.
As a OrilliaMatters+ member, you will get access to some pretty amazing member-exclusive benefits all while contributing to the success of local news, now and in the future. Win/win/win!
You have been a friend to the site, but we would like you to become family as an OrilliaMatters+ member.
