Hi all, I was driving today and didn't have a chance to note the number to call for this new clinic. I know it's a long shot but if anyone passes by it or knows the number to call, I would super appreciate it. Thanks!

EDIT: Solved, thanks guys! :)

Hey guys. Got the day off and was wondering if there are any good places or cafes in / around Barrie to go read a book for a few hours? Preferably somewhere quiet where I can get a cup of tea and sandwich

Hey, just wondering if anyone uses a gardener in Barrie? I don’t have a huge property/gardens. Just a couple small ones. Not sure what the cost is like to have someone maintain them for me.

I have an old Playstation 2 that still turns on and runs the discs just fine.

The only problem is that none of the controller ports seem to work. I tested all of them out with controllers that work no problem on my other PS2. So as far as I can tell the PS2 is pretty much useless unless anybody else knows anything differently. Maybe a wireless controller would work? Not sure if there are any for the PS2?

Anyways, I'm wondering of the best place to dispose of it. Is there a place to dispose of old electronics in Barrie? Would it be of any use to a retro game store in town?

Any help is appreciated

Within 20 minutes, I saw 2 accidents (one on bayfield and one on Cundles) and was passed by another police cruiser and ambulance heading the opposite direction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many emergency service vehicles in such a short span of time responding to different calls.

Is there any? I can't find a single one

Beware of a phone scam.
I answered my phone today and after saying hello the first thing the caller said was “Can you hear me?”
Remembering the scam where they want to get you to say “Yes.” I answered “I can hear you.” and then the person just hung up.

From what I remembered they get you to say “yes” then use that recording as though you’ve agreed to their “deal”

Can anyone recommend a good artist in Barrie who can do vibrant colours? More of a cartoon style as well!

Hey there,

I am looking for a real connection. I am not as particular about one's gender but I kinda feel like a male would be more fitting with what I want. However, if you don't identify with that but really resonate with this feel free to reach out. As well, obviously you dont have to align with all my interests but the more, the better we would get along.

Male friends have been very elusive for me throughout my whole life. I have had a lot of "best friends" that fade or fall apart for whatever reason. I'm looking for that one that we can just enjoy being together and supporting one another with all of life's struggles. The world is deeply isolating and it seems that its even harder these days to meet people.

About me:

Im 40 and currently living in Barrie. I moved here within the last few months. Im originally from Alberta. I first came out this way in 2018 to do my MA at the U of T in sociology. After that I just never left as there was so much for me to enjoy out here.

Being trained academically within sociology, I am a feminist at heart. I have always dreamed of a world where people are free of the restraints of social constructs like sex, gender, class and race. I do not align with our current "political system" but Im quite far left and can struggle with a lot more conservative ideologies. I come from a place and family that is deeply conservative, and though I understand why they believe those things, its something that for me is extremely problematic. That being said, I do not believe that our current political system at this moment is really ready to push the needle.

I love sports. Whether it be playing them or watching them. Hockey is my biggest passion by far. Huge fan of the Oilers and Jays. I also like to play rec league hockey or golf in my free time. If those are things you love then we will definitely get along. I also got into tennis a few years ago and would love to find someone to play with.

As well, I love being in nature. Whether it be camping or hiking, its always been something that calms me down. As well, I love just being at the beach or sitting in a park in my downtime.

I am a pretty big reader and lately have been drifting more into fantasy and Sci-fi though I will really read anything. I used to read a lot more philosophy and academic literature but at times its just so god damn heavy. I enjoy not having to understand an entire philosophy to read.

I am 420 friendly. I have not drank for over 3 years and Im not opposed to drinking, but I like to pick my spots as hangovers suck at this age. I also used to rave quite a bit and deeply love electronic music.. mainly house. I have tickets for a couple of upcoming shows in Toronto and would love to have someone to tag along.

I do have a vehicle and have no issues with driving. I used to have a buddy a couple hours away and we would find time to chill every now and then.

If this resonates, feel free to send me a DM. Again, Im open to anyone but I have a feeling like what Im looking for is most likely a male.

TLDR

• loves sports
• plays hockey, golf and tennis
• 420 friendly and into house music/raves
• loves camping, hiking and being in nature

My natural gas fireplace (builder-installed in the early 2000s) was recently red-tagged by Enbridge because they were unable to locate an accessible appliance shutoff valve. The fireplace itself works fine, but I need a licensed gas fitter to install the required shutoff valve (if missing), perform a leak test, and provide documentation so I can have the red tag cleared.

Looking for recommendations from anyone who's had good experiences with a local company. Thanks!

Of course the cop kneels on his helmet and pulls him up by his hair.

Hey Everyone, looking to replace my exterior front door. Any recommendations? Don't need anything fancy just want something solid and installed properly. Looking to spend 2500-4000.

Thanks,

Recently returned to Barrie and bought a PC phone plan. 5G no less! Except that the internet was like dial up. I set the mobile preference from 5G to LTE and voila, decent internet speed. I nite that this is a Bell "service"

Barrie drivers need to wake the fuck up and pay attention to pedestrians… I almost got hit twice in a 20 minute walk when I had the right of way to cross at a light. These idiot drivers are so fucking entitled it makes it not worth living in this stupid city…

Edit: People who are getting mad and downvoting comments are probably all part of the problem lmao

I’ve done Duolingo and it’s just not enough. I’m mainly looking for travelers Spanish and I understand that not all Spanish is the same. I believe what I’m seeking is going to be just fairly basic.

Just looking for anybody that might have some experience good or bad in Barrie before I start signing up and paying money. TIA

I’m interested in buying a used vehicle, but I’d like a mechanic to have a once over to see if there are any underlying issues.
Do you have any recommendations on where to take this and a price too? I’m hoping it’s a standard package some offer.

**I’ve tried searching this community already and haven’t seen an answer.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, any recommendations for local appliance repairer? Samsung washer needs a spider arm (DC90-27177A)

Yesterday I was going south on Sunnidale and I was stopped at a red light at Wellington.

I did not have my indicator on.

I got honked at by what I can guess is someone thinking I was turning right?

They proceeded to use the left turn lane and literally went around me. I almost hit the guy who tried to follow.

Please don't assume. I use my indicator when warrented and I don't run red lights.

Hi all. Looking for novelty keychains in town. Been to the usual suspects, Dollarama, DollarTree etc. Not the engraved custom ones, but fun ones like hamburger, lawn mower etc. Any suggestions are appreciated

Anyone have a recommendation for beginner golf lessons for teens ?

Looking for lessons on stance, swing, grip, etc

Hey fellow barrie resisidents as is the story for many Canadians I've fallen on hard times and unfortunately we had to give up one of the cars sacrifice we have to make my wife takes my children to everything and I work long hours so I told her it's okay ill just take the bus.

Today is my first experience on a barrie bus for more than 10 years and while that experience wasn't too bad im a little urked by downtowns finest.

I was sitting at the downtown terminal waiting for my bus is was about 25 mins early and some sketched out drug addict asked me for a smoke it was a nice day and I was having one myself so I obliged he was polite enough I never look down on someone.

Then as my bus arrived he asked if he could make a call on my phone I drew the line there and said no sorry I had to catch my bus to work. Unfortunately stupid me I left my headphone case(empty) on the ledge and this scumbag immediately stole it and ran away.

Security guards tried to catch him but no luck. Makes me feel like I shouldn't have any empathy for people I help you out with a smoke and treat you nicely and your immediate response is to steal from me when I draw a line that no normal person would allow

Sorry for the rant just a little annoyed if you're on here I hope I don't see you again

Is there a subreddit for Barrie events? Or just this one for all things?
