What is Jordan’s Principle? After the passing of Jordan River Anderson, Canada's House of Common passed Jordan's Principle, a child-first policy to ensure Indigenous youth have full and immediate access to the healthcare and social services they need. In April 2025, Geordie is slated to present our show Jordan and due to the withdrawal of a major funder, we need your help. Geordie wants to ensure that the story of Jordan River Anderson can be still shared. This story is far too important not to share, regardless of the financial implications: there is no reconciliation without truth, and it’s unacceptable that the government is still failing to meet the healthcare needs of Indigenous youth and their communities in their times of need. By sharing this story with hundreds of audience members, Geordie hopes to raise awareness around Jordan’s Principle, and the work that still needs to be done to continue to strive for reconciliation.

Who is Jordan River Anderson? Jordan was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba who was born with significant health issues. Due to ongoing disagreements between the provincial and federal governments as to who would be responsible for paying for Jordan's at-home care, Jordan unfortunately passed away at the age of 5 in the hospital, having never been able to live in his own home.

Why Now? Today is #GivingTuesday, and Geordie is launching a month-long fundraising campaign to help us present “Jordan” this April. By sharing this story with hundreds of audience members, Geordie hopes to raise awareness around Jordan’s Principle, and the work that still needs to be done to continue to strive for reconciliation. Due to the withdrawal of a major funder from the show, we need your help to help reduce this unexpected financial shortfall, with a total goal of $50,000. Our campaign is off to a great start, with 10k already raised! Help us get to 20k, and the Jaclyn Fisher Foundation has generously pledged to match your donation.

And just like that, The Wolves' indoor soccer season has wrapped! Thank you all for joining us on this incredible journey, and selling out every show! Your support and enthusiasm for this production have resonated with everyone involved in bringing it to life. We're so honoured we had the opportunity to bring you onto to the soccer field and bring you this empowering story of adolescence, self-identity, unity, and raw, unfiltered womanhood. We want to thank our incredibly talented cast for their unwavering dedication on and off the field, for breathing life into these characters so beautifully. To our creative team, we are forever thankful for your creativity, your vision, and your commitment to excellence. Thank you to our incredible Geordie and Imago teams for their dedication and hard work in making this collaboration a resounding success.

Our aim is to take ownership of our footprint as theatre makers, community leaders, and as artists. As a CGA member, we will reimagine our theatrical process to include a reduction of our impact on the planet, and an emphasis on the health of our community. ♻️Geordie is already actively working to minimize its environmental footprint, particularly as a touring company. We are dedicated to compensating for any unavoidable emissions by supporting organizations such as Compensation CO2 Québec, which focuses on reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
