Geordie Theatre’s Post

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. 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.
