Inspired by fire and ice, a new art exhibition by …

🔌 TIL a homeowner is responsible for power lines on their property - and clearing downed branches from those cables. Hydro One will disconnect your power if they deem it necessary in order to avoid a fire hazard.

Being without power for several days is quite a challenge. Covering an ice storm without power and without reliable internet has been even more challenging ... and exhausting. But the OrilliaMatters team is committed to keeping you in the know. We'll be here until the power is back ... and long after.
The OrilliaMatters team is shown hard at work at the Colborne Street office in Orillia, where, thankfully, we have power.

🍞 Baking Without Power? Challenge Accepted! ❄️ Orillia’s been in the dark for days thanks to this ice storm, and let’s just say—baking has been a little tricky. No ovens, no mixers… just creativity and patience! It got me thinking—what are the best no-bake treats to make when the power is out? I’m talking stovetop breads, campfire biscuits, or even classic no-bake cookies. Have you made anything fun (or just found a creative way to …

Zentangle is a meditative art form that uses structured patterns (called tangles) to create intricate designs, promoting relaxation, mindfulness, and creativity by focusing on the process rather than the outcome. I have been doing these for awhile and find it very relaxing - has anyone else tried these before?

The Electrical Safety Authority emphasizes using caution while cleaning up after a storm: ⇨ Do not attempt to clear tree limbs that are leaning on or caught in powerlines, report them to Hydro One ⇨ Keep 3 metres away from overhead powerlines ⇨ Never carry ladders upright as they may come in contact or close to powerlines. ⇨ Keep 10 metres away from downed powerlines. If you see a downed powerline, always assume it is live. It …

SPACES is now live in Orillia! As crews work hard to restore power and clear streets, hopefully these spaces can be useful connecting points for those in need and those in our community who are able to lend a hand.
