Richard Jordan - Speaking With Seniors

Bringing my love of storytelling to your love of all things past and present.

Let me tell you a story …

I tell people my presentations aren’t like a classroom.  I run them more like a university-level discussion group.  My audience brings with them a lifetime of experience and I welcome their questions and comments.  I’m always here to learn as well as to educate.

Good writing and good presentations follow the same three simple principles:

  • You have to know your subject thoroughly.
  • You have to be able to explain things in simple terms.
  • You have to entertain and engage your audience, not just inform them.
Speaking with Seniors - Richard Jordan

Richard is the 2025 winner of the Jean Hibbert Memorial Award, which is presented annually by the Etobicoke Historical Society for valuable contributions to the preservation of Etobicoke’s Heritage. Read more

I am a firm believer in vaccination and all health precautions. I get the flu shot every year and am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. The date of my latest Covid and flu vaccination is April 5, 2025. I’m always happy to show proof of my vaccinations and to follow all your health safety protocols.

I have been very fortunate to work with Richard Jordan over the last five years. Richard is passionate about the history he shares, both in his lectures and on Bus Tours through the Mississauga and Etobicoke regions. His presentations are as informative as they are engaging. Richard enjoys connecting with our residents on a personal level, and they are always excited to attend his lectures.

“Richard you are very popular in our home. Thank you for contacting us and accommodating our interests and needs.
Your lectures are incredibly interesting! The residents love your lectures and so much enjoy the trips!
The list for the trips fills in very quickly. Again my big thank you for understanding how much I am struggling with the budget taking into consideration how big the place is and how picky my guys are.”
