The Local Loonies travel membership was created to inspire people to be spontaneous, to discover new places, experience unique businesses and meet amazing people along the way. Meet the team who made it all possible, Kelan, Dever and Jared.
Kelan Jylha
“Like many business owners, I was negatively affected by the pandemic. That was the moment when my two brothers and I were inspired to create Local Loonies. We want to create something fun and authentic with the purpose of supporting local businesses and local tourism.” – Kelan
Dever Jylha
“Our family and friends are very important to our lives and it was difficult being separated for so long. This is a feeling that everyone can, unfortunately, relate too. Our goal is to create a community of people who want to experience Ontario’s best, to appreciate the people who run these incredible businesses and to develop friendships along the way!” – Dever
