My husband works at RVH and this is what happens when you are parked in the staff lot working a 12hr shift! Another staff member decided to just drive off, no note, no accountability. Now we get to deal with this right before the holidays and paying a deductible. It is truly sad this is what our society as come to. Accidents happen, do the right thing! Maybe if it was you and you have a conscience you could come forward. This has to have left damage not heir car too! Source

A Followup Post 🍁 Okay! so today I met that tall guy again outside Walmart Bayfield, but lol no surprises today. Astonishingly, when I walked towards him, he greeted me in my native language (punjabi) - "Satsriakal"❤️ I was so humbled by his sweet attitude. I got him inside, we went to McD, (as someone in last post commented), I loved the idea of letting him order what he wants. Then we sat together, he shared his life story. Eating and Talking together. Looked like he hadn't had a company anytime lately. He is a very interesting person. I won't disclose the name to keep it discreet. He also takes shelter in Busby Centre, where I also keep hopping on and off as a volunteer (I know I am not regular). Long story short - These people may temporarily be in a bad shape, but they do have potential. Keep motivating them to quit drugs and they will build an empire one day. Barrie has lot of potential. ❤️🌹🙏🏻 Ps: When I took his leave and got to my car, I saw this walmart cart so …

And that's how it's done folks! Barrie Concerned Citizens and followers! Great Job! Barrie residents keeping a watch out! You should all be promoted to investigator 😊 Photo credit At the Scene Photography

Anyone who’s going to the Taylor Swift concert? The Barrie GO Train will be running back to Barrie an hour later to accommodate! This is only happening after the Taylor Swift shows, however, I think this change should be permanent as many events in Toronto run past 11PM, and the only other 2 options are TTC or bus to Newmarket… both options require Barrie residents to drive an hour. I’d much rather get home at 1:30AM as opposed to 2:30-3:00AM after an event in Toronto! Plus something about fewer cars on the road… Source

600 new cars to be added to the traffic already plaguing 400 and Bayfield St. The sky towers has officially broken ground at old YMCA on Grove St! Source

Good thing no one was walking down the sidewalk when this happened... 👀🤭

Barrie planning staff is proposing to allow four-story apartment buildings on any residential street in the city. This will cut you out of the planning process. No other City in Ontario is doing what is proposed by planning staff in Barrie. There are many good places for low rise apartments in Barrie. And there many examples of where they fit in well. We need this form of housing. However, allowing them anywhere without public input is wrong. This means the decisions about growth and change on your street will be made by developers rather than your elected Council. These images show examples of four storey apartments on residential streets in Barrie. Some look ok. But whether you agree with this form of building or not - don’t you think you should have a voice? The public meeting for this by-law is being held this Thursday, November 14 at 6 o’clock in the Council chambers. If you have any concerns, come to the meeting and contact your Ward councillor to make sure your v…
