Barrie Concerned Citizens Group Posts

Out for our morning walk and just came across what looks like a baby fox either sick or injured. It couldn’t care less if we were super close to it. It’s right by a school. Does anyone know a reputable wildlife rescue that could come pick it up and hopefully nurse it back to health? To be clear it lifted its head and won’t open its eyes we did not go near it. He can hear us but struggled to move. It will look up and keep its eyes completely closed. We were told by the school he has been out front of a school and childcare for days and had to keep kids inside due to it, however, but nobody will come and they’re concerned. We have tried calling Bear Creek Wildlife Centre (THEY ARE AT MAX CAPACITY) and called Procyon and left a message. Shades of Hope will not come capture and said we need to catch it and to call back if we do. Thanks! Source

The fast actions of these guys saved the life of a Collingwood man who was seconds from drowning on the Barrie waterfront tonight. He was attempting to retrieve an item that drifted from shore. Applause for the shoreline as this man gets a second chance. Right place.. Right time Source

Sad news for Barrie and happy news for those out east. Chase Auto Body Limited is an amazing business that helped our family and friends many times. God bless them 💕

Just wanted to advise anyone in the Rose St area of this incident. I noticed this very suspicious van with a trailer and headlights off parked on the street outside of my house in the middle of the night. They sat there for about 45 mins before I called non emergency police. No plates on the van or trailer. White GMC van with a yellow hood. They eventually turned the cab light on and I noticed the driver to be visably under the influence smoking & drinking in the driver seat and acting extremely erraticly. They drove off before police arrived, driving dangerously down Rose St. Please call police if you see this van in the area. Source
