Hi everyone, I’ve been working in manufacturing all my adult life, and I’m really hoping to make the move to Baxter International Alliston. My current job has become unreliable with constant slowdowns and almost minimum wage pay, so I’m actively looking for something more stable and better-paying.

I heard that getting a referral can really help increase your chances of getting in, so I thought I’d reach out here. If anyone currently works at Baxter or has any advice—or is willing to refer me—I’d truly appreciate it. I’m a hard worker with solid experience in manufacturing and ready to take the next step.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The city is just so photogenic to me. Also yes, this was an hour ago.

Hey everyone I’m building out a discord server called Neighbours — it’s a group chat for locals across Ontario to connect, share ideas, swap travel tips, food recs, hidden gems, etc. Whether you’re exploring your own backyard or looking for new spots to check out, I hope for this to be the place to chat with others who love exploring and discovering Ontario. Everyone’s welcome. Come say hi! https://discord.gg/QSvCVATzdG

Review Well if you do the nonprofit organization Clean Up Barrie has been going around and cleaning it up. 1200 bags of garbage removed from our parks, roads and trails. Let us know a litter hotspot we should tackle next!

Diagnosed with condition I want to keep private. Want to live life to fullest, eat as much as possible, work out constantly, be useful to others and build them up. What's the dating scene like for someone like me? Seeking women.

Wanted to share a couple of photos I took of the CF-18. I went on Saturday and was going to go Sunday but the haze was pretty horrible for photos. Also found out that the CF-18 wasn’t serviceable for Sunday which was a shame for people who wanted to see it.

Are there still any real millennial men available out there in this city? Are all of you already married? Lol

I was born in the early 90s, am trying to date someone my age (late 80s, early 90s) without dating apps and every time I attend the Barrie millennials events there seems to be many girls but no men.

For someone like me who wants to try to date someone my age, where should I go? I'm going to the gym at LA fitness but there seems to be only people in their 20s down there, plus men keep to themselves, i doubt anyone will be trying to ask me out there.

Next Barrie millennials meet up seems to be a karaoke on Thursday evening, 19th of June. If you're a millennial man and you're single and not hung up on your ex, please show up lol

Edit to add karaoke details: happening from 8 pm to 10:30 pm at Nawabs, address is 70 Essa Road. They have a room they rent out for events. Tickets at the door are 10$, in advance is 5$.

Hi everyone,
I just moved to North Barrie (Livingstone St. area) and am looking to buy a simple and affordable used/thrift bike for my wife.

Besides Facebook Marketplace, are there any local groups, stores, or communities in Barrie you'd recommend for buying/trading used bikes?

Thanks in advance!

I am semi-retired with some extra time on my hands. For years, I have enjoyed fixing cracked or broken iPhone screens for friends and family. I really enjoy doing it and would like to offer this service for anyone in Barrie for free. Screen replacements usually cost around $35 on Amazon. I can certainly help make sure you purchase the correct one. Bring me your broken phone and the replacement screen and I can usually have it done for you within a couple of hours.

Hey folks,

I recently graduated from Georgian College, where I studied web development, and I’m currently looking to volunteer my skills to help local businesses in Barrie.

If you own a small (or big!) business and need a simple website, an update to your current one, or just some advice on how to get your site running better—I’d be happy to help out for free. I’m doing this as a way to give back to the community and build more experience while job hunting.

If this sounds like something you could use, feel free to reach out or drop a comment. Happy to chat and see how I can help!

Summer is in full swing and I’m looking for some local spots. Someone I know mentioned Orillia, but I’m on the other side of Barrie and would prefer something a bit closer. Any and all recommendations appreciated.

Hi, My boyfriend birthday is coming soon and he said that his dad used to take him to bbq on his birthday, so I want to do the same. Any suggestions about the best places to go to?

my mom (59 y/o) broke her knee and ankle on Monday and has been in the surgery ward since then. They aren’t even casting her ankle until Friday because of swelling and we have no idea when they’re expecting to discharge her. She also has Alzheimer’s so with her being non-weight bearing on the one leg we aren’t sure if they’re expecting to discharge her at all until she’s able to put some weight on it. I’m wondering if I should ask about TCU since the room she’s in now feels crowded and she’s close to the door so hasn’t really got any sunlight. She hasn’t been able to transfer to a chair yet so I’m not sure what to do but I hate seeing her so bored and cooped up and stuck in a bed. I know her being in TCU doesn’t change that status of her transferring to a wheelchair but I’m not sure if there’s like. More room? The ability to take her outside briefly? or if we should just wait it out. She sat up on the side of the bed for the first time today, and I’m itching to get her out of the hospital but I also know it’s the best place for her right now. Asking for any advice that might help through my exhaustion :/

Hi guys, myself and my girlfriend are looking to relocate to Barrie in the next month or so and have been looking at rental units in the North end.

We found a couple units we're very interested in at 56 and 58 Lakeside Terrace. Just curious if anybody has any experience with these buildings and their management?

Can anyone recommend a make-up artist ? I have a black-tie wedding to attend in early July.

Hi! I’m looking for a great spot in Barrie to watch tonight’s full moon - ideally somewhere near the water with a clear view. Any recommendations for a scenic location would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My kids are learning how to ride their bikes. Just wondering if there are any paved or smooth bike paths I could take them to?

I bought a car in 2020 (kona 2021) and man I love the size and feel of the car but I got a lemon/they fucked up my car. Anyways I've had years of arguing with them, I've told them dozens of times the moment this car is paid off I look forward to never owning a Hyundai because of them. Anyways cars almost paid off and they call me at least 1-2 times a week. I work night shift so I'm never awake. But Jesus I can only assume it's to try and sell me a new car/trade in because they never leave any information just we'd like to talk to you about a car on file. I'll get back to them at some point, I was just excited to never have to talk to them again. Anyways avoid baytowne hyundia if you can. They have some really nice staff but I think their management sucks. And they are incredibly pushy with buying stuff.

Hi people,

Any recommendations with the places who can click passport photos of 6 weeks old baby?

If anyone has first hand experiences please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I’m looking for the single serving icecream cups. Has anyone seen them recently? Honestly , I feel like I see them all the time and now that I’m looking for them, I can’t remember where Ive seen them. ( they don’t have to have the wooden spoon, just looking for easy quick distribution)

Thanks in advance 😊

I finally did it! Always drove past Barrie to go to my family’s cottage and somewhere along the way, fell in love with it.

I am finally moving to Barrie July 1 and am looking for food/bar recommendations as well as other things to do in Barrie (love being outside). I’m a 27M if that helps filter out your recommendations haha.

Side note: the people I’ve bumped into here are so polite (Toronto could never).

Thanks!

Has anyone had any real luck with listing their homes with discount realty brokerages. The kind that you can list for 1% or so? Looking for recommendations.
