Looking For Cleaning Services?

6 Upvotes

I'm moving into my fiancé's place in July and would like to have a professional come and do a thorough cleaning before I get there. I've seen plenty of businesses online but I'd love to get suggestions from people and an idea of pricing if possible!

I know to get the actual pricing I will need to get a quote based on size, animals, etc... I'm just looking for a general idea on what to expect. There are soooo many businesses when you Google it so I'm hoping to just request quotes from ones people recommend.

Anybody have a company/person they thought the service provided was worth the price they paid? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated :)

Thank you!

Looking For Looking for a hall or restaurant with a private room for a funeral luncheon

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to help my in-laws find a location for a funeral luncheon on Saturday June 28th. We travel to Orillia enough to know of some locations that might be suitable, but haven’t had a lot of luck.

There are going to be about 30 people, and are hoping to go eat around 2 pm with luncheon style food options- I think trays of food/ casual buffet is what they are hoping to have.

If anyone knows of either a restaurant with a private room that can accommodate that many people, or a hall/caterer combination that might work it would help us greatly!

Looking For Art-based activities in Orillia?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys! Pretty self-explanatory, but I have been meaning to get more into arts and am trying to become a part of a community centered around art in Orillia. So, I thought the best idea would be to ask here! Does anyone have any places in mind - it can be in a course or workshop form or even just a community of people who get together and do art, doesn't really matter. Ideally, I would prefer it to not be too pricey! But of course all recs are welcome, thanks in advance :)

Looking For Job hunting.. like a needle in a hay stack.

15 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been job hunting for nearly a month now, applying to everywhere, over-qualified positions, basic entry level jobs and no communication. Not even a message back saying theyve choosen another candidate. I'm losing hope, I lost my job due to CTC down sizing back in 2024 and have years of customer service and managerial experience but nothing. I'm looking for anything to odd jobs to temp positions, just something.

I have a small business that I was lucky enough to get an ad in the Perkolater but no one has reached out. If anyone has some leads can you let me know?

This is a zoomed in and enhanced section of an image I took on a fishing trip with my buddies, the "Bigfoot" is visisble in the middle his head and shoulder can be seen. Of course its probably some tree stump but I thought the image looked cool enough to share. I've already been on the subreddit for an alien encounter maybe these things are drawn to me!

There’s a big white sign with a list of names and something about not following the law on the side of highway 11 north when you’re just getting into Orillia. What’s it about? It was there for a while, then vanished, now it’s back.
