Is there any family without a Christmas tree this year? I have two that I would like to drop off to two families in need that don't have one.. pre lit, all the parts there and the boxes (mostly). Source

Campaigning for change doesn't necessarily mean you're doing a good thing. It really depends on how you go about it. Your campaigns should have a goal and game plan to go about it in a way that doesn't include ignorance or passing of judgement.

There is a lot of good Activism in Barrie, but there is also people going about it incorrectly in an unintelligent way.

Traits of a good activist Empathy Passion Commitment Perseverance Courage Purpose Self-less Non-Malicious Openness Traits of a bad activist Passes judgement Quick to react Not acknowledging resistance Being unproductive Lacking a well-defined mission Only see's the bad Lurking Malicious

Lacking a well-defined mission is a good example of a bad trait, as it's one that's seen a lot on the internet. The internet is a large place and people of every race are participating, which creates different views. Topics that are touchy often can…

Not a concern, but wanted to share that I’m finding new spots for walking clinics which should help ease some of the line ups at the ER and regular clinics. So happy to see new developments around town. And another one I saw but didn’t take a pic of was an open walkin clinic next to service Ontario on Yonge St and Garden Dr (in Wickie’s Pub plaza).

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... 👀🤭
