After announcing the closure of our Orillia centre in February, we are proud to announce today that we will be staying, but in a completely virtual environment!
While it is true that it is complex to see the positive side of a pandemic, it is also true that "it is in adversity that opportunities are found." A big thank you to all our employees for their willingness to adapt to this new reality.
To learn more about Nordia's decision:
On Saturday, the Nordia Orillia team participated for a first time in the Friends For Life Walk, a fundraiser for the Ontario SPCA and its Affiliates supporting the protection and care of animals in need.
The team finished in the top 5 donors as they raised $365 to the cause. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who made this event a success!
On Septembre 30, the Nordia Orillia team participated for a second year to the Ride for Refuge event, which is a family-friendly fundraiser in support of local charities who provide refuge and hope for displaced people. Nearly 30 participants geared up this year to walk or bike, and raised over $800 in support of The Lighthouse Shelter and Couchiching Jubilee House.
Congratulations to all the participants and to all the volunteers who contributed in making this a successful day!
On May 11, for the second year in a row, 27 employees from our Nordia Orillia centre participated in the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Big Bike Event, which was held at Couchiching Park. Not only did they have lots of fun riding Canada's ONLY 30-person bike, but they also raised $1,017 to support heart disease and stroke research and managed to successfully ride through the whole route without losing anyone!
Congratulations and thanks to everyone for their participation and generosity!
