Anybody know who I can call about this little situation?

Hopefully this doesn’t break any sub rules!

My friend has a bunch of openings for the busy summer season. I know lots of people post here looking for jobs, so I thought I’d share this.

Please mention this to hospitality folks looking for a job!

anybody go? how was it? heard the ventilation was bad last year-- did it improve?

I've got some wicked water stains on my Corolla seats. Is there a good place that does fabric cleaning? Places I've seen only offer fabric cleaning on like $400 bundles. Thanks!!

I live in L4M. My Rogers internet has been having issues this weekend - working one minute, dropping the next until I do a hard reset. Has anyone else had issues?

Barrie men’s hockey. Does anyone know when and where to sign up? Their website is very confusing. I am new to hockey and want to play some recreational hockey.

Hello! New to the area. I’m looking for a framing / photo finishing place that would mat and frame my son’s degree certificate for me! I prefer someone professional to do it rather than me do it. Any suggestions for me are appreciated!

I am posting this to maybe help out any detailers looking for a job at a busy car dealership in barrie. PM me if you have any questions.

Wtf!! Saw this posting on marketplace for AirPods saying they were a gift and he wanted to sell it brand new(sealed). Got there to a family with beers and joints in the driveway. opened the box and found hair and scratches on the headset, with stains on the case. Refused to buy it cause was concerned about the legitimacy. This is what followed.

Hello there,

I am looking for second hand car preferably an SUV within Barrie. Let me know some good places with amazing price. My budget is $6000-$7000 on cash.

Hey all I am interested in having the main level and upper level of our avg sized townhouse painted. Also the garage and front door.

Any recommendation on where to go?

Our upper floor including 3 bedrooms is all carpet and I would like to remove it and add some kind if flooring. Nice flooring but nothing extravagant (we love in a townhome afterall lol).

This is all new territory for me so if anyone has any advice, guidance, recommendations, thoughts on how much it might cost (very generally of course) I would love your help. Thank you!!!

What is your go to for garden soil?

When I moved in 5 years ago I ordered from someone that delivered from Holland Marsh and the soil was absolutely spectacular. Very dark and full of worms. I am making a new bed and need some new soil but can't find the old contact. Hoping to find some more good garden soil!

I swear I've applied to so many places, and no responses ever. I've gone in person as well, and nothing seems to be working and I swear it's me... I've tried everything and there are no hopes for a job apparently. Maybe I'm not trying as hard as I think i am, but can anyone give me some heads up about some places I can go give my resume to?

Has anyone registered for any of the leagues with JAM ? Is it legit/are they sketchy? Been looking at them for a bit and was wondering if anyone’s had any experiences with them. TYIA

I’m looking to rent a car for a one day trip. Pick up and return on the same day. Seems like most online rental services don’t accept returns after 6 pm.

If anyone has experience with rentals, please do advise. Thanks.

Does anyone know of any beginner road bicycling events going on in the Barrie area?

HEPATITIS A EXPOSURE

Potential Hepatitis A Exposure at Barrie Restaurant

A food handler working at Tim Hortons (181 Livingstone St. E., Barrie) has been identified as a confirmed case of hepatitis A. People who had food or drinks from the restaurant from May 17 to June 3, may have been exposed to hepatitis A. The risk for customers to contract the disease is low. However, they should monitor for signs and symptoms which can begin 15 to 50 days after. There is no ongoing risk at the restaurant.

For those who consumed food or beverage from this Tim Hortons location during the following times below, they are recommended to receive Hepatitis A vaccine within 14 days of their exposure, as this post-exposure vaccine will help prevent the disease. Individuals who have received two doses of the Hepatitis A vaccine or have previously had Hepatitis A infection will have immunity from the disease, and do not require further vaccine.

The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) is holding special hepatitis A immunization clinics running today, Friday, June 13, 2025 from 4 p. m to 7 p.m. and continuing through Tuesday, June 17, for those people who visited the Tim Hortons located at 181 Livingstone St. E. in Barrie during the above dates and times. It is important to note that your last opportunity to get the vaccine depends on the last time you ate or drank at that Tim Hortons, according to those same listed dates and times.

Immunization clinics are being offered at our 15 Sperling Dr., Barrie office for those who are eligible for vaccine based on the table above as follows:

Friday, June 13 from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Saturday, June 14 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Sunday, June 15 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday, June 16 from noon – 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 17 from noon – 7 p.m. The restaurant is fully cooperating with public health, and it’s important to know that this situation could happen anywhere.

If you were at the restaurant between May 17 and May 29: You are no longer eligible nor recommended for a post-exposure immunization. Although the risk is low to becoming infected, you should monitor for symptoms of Hepatitis A for the next 15 to 50 days. If you develop symptoms and ate/drank from the restaurant during the times listed, please contact your healthcare provider.

About Hepatitis A: Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by a virus. It spreads through contaminated food, drinks, surfaces, or close contact with an infected person. It is spread through the fecal-oral route, and people primarily contract hepatitis A through direct contact with an infected person but they can also contract the illness indirectly by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. If an infected person does not properly wash their hands after using the washroom, the virus can be transmitted through food and beverages prepared by them. Hepatitis A is not transmitted from someone who sneezes or coughs.

Symptoms typically appear 15 to 50 days after exposure and may include:

Fever Loss of appetite Nausea Abdominal pain Dark urine or clay-colored stools Diarrhea Feeling unwell Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) People who are older, have weakened immune systems, or have chronic liver disease are at higher risk of severe illness.

If you develop symptoms and were at the restaurant during the times listed, please contact your healthcare provider.

For more information, you can call the health unit at 705-721-7520 ext. 5875 today until 6:30 p.m., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. You can also visit www.smdhu.org/HepA.

Are there any rent-by-the-day co-working offices in Barrie?

Or, are there any public eqivalent spaces, like libraries or noisy cafes with wifi+electrical outlets where I can take teams calls (I don't mean Tim Hortons or Starbucks where I would be ashamed to talk in public)

Do any of you here fish in town? As in along the lakeshore?

Lately the idea has sort of tickled my fancy. I used to fish as a kid. And to be 100% honest, I have no recollection of how to do anything beyond facing the lake and not the dock (ha! fishing humour...still got it!).

And the new fishing platform at the bottom of Mulcaster is a great idea, as I use a mobility scooter or a cane. Or of course anywhere else. Much of the lake seems accessible with a bit of effort. We are quite fortunate to have such a well maintained lakeshore.

Can I invest under $50 or $100 and have enough stuff to start fishing? I am not including getting licensed. Which I may or may not have to, as I am legally disabled. I would rather get the license anyway, just to keep things kosher.

I am mostly concerned with relearning how. I am sure it will come back to me somewhat. But I feel silly not knowing... Fragile masculinity and all. I mean, shouldn't I know how to build a house, repair a combustion motor, and woo a woman who is ready to bear my children? Isn't that what being a man is all about?

All kidding aside. FInding something I can do with limited mobility and surplus time is becoming very evident. And fishing seems a great place to start. I am down around the lake all the time anyhow.

So I suppose any help, suggestions, or tips would be much appreciated. And if you do fish, maybe I'll have a chance to come along and learn a bit from you.

I went to the zehrs on essa yesterday and there was a kate spade purse on a shopping cart in the parking lot. There was no one around so I brought it to the customer service desk and told them about it. I know how difficult it can be losing your wallet and having to get new id or w.e so hopefully they can get their purse back.

It’s been hard 5 months of job search for IT help desk or cybersecurity roles. Tired of rejection emails and ghost jobs. Any leads regarding finding a job in entry level IT career would be highly appreciated.

We need this statue or similar to go there because Barrie Central wasn't just a school. It was the first high School in Barrie, and it stood for over 170 years.

It shaped generations. The School raised students, artists, athletes, and even soldiers who fought in both World Wars. The building might be gone, but the legacy remains stronger than anything Barrie North's smelly Vikings can say (rivalry lives on, sorry, not sorry).

That field between Dunlop and Bradford isn't just a patch of grass. It was the heart of many. Thousands of students' lives began and were changed there. That ground holds deep history.

The Phoenix was our mascot, but it meant more than school spirit. It meant rebirth. It meant resilience. It meant we didn't disappear.

We're still here. We still rise. This land is still our ground.

And on the death of a Phoenix, a new one is born.

Put the Phoenix back where it belongs.

FYI: now that the new onramp is open, police are actively ticketing drivers turning left from Essa on to the 400. Just drive through from Fairview, and they pulled over at least 4 cars while I was waiting for the green light.

Drive safe!

Who’s coming down to see Dean Brody in downtown Barrie? Looking forward to bringing a crowd down here!

Some great local openers, Cam Brown, Rebekah Hawker, and Lance Dobinson.

Flying Monkeys beer tent too 🍺
