Opossum in my backyard last night. I’ve lived in Barrie more than 20 years

Opossum in my backyard last night. I’ve lived in Barrie more than 20 years and never seen one. Feel pretty lucky. It looks totally chill. Pretty ugly little thing though. Unfortunately it didn't play dead when it saw my cat through the sliding glass door. The picture doesn't do it justice, it’s pretty fat compared to the pictures. Almost the size of an adult cat. Anyway… god bless! Source

Found near Johnson Beach this morning. I will only release the bird to the rightful owner. We have the number on the leg band. Source

UPDATE: I contacted Procyon Wildlife and spoke with a wonderful woman named Donna

UPDATE: I contacted Procyon Wildlife and spoke with a wonderful woman named Donna, she is requesting I put it in a box or small cage and bring it into Procyon Wildlife in Beeton. Unfortunately I do not personally drive and am unable to do this. Is there anyone that would be able to do this please? Can anyone help or direct me to help please. This squirrel is in the soccer field area of The Hickling Park here in Barrie. He is not visibly injured however is breathing and has been here since 8am this morning. He has not moved. Source

Y’all need to be running to shop at Centra instead of the major stores. Why?

Y'all need to be running to shop at Centra instead of the major stores. Why? This whole shop cost me $170 total. 80 of it on dry goods like oats/oatmeal/breads/spices/canned goods, and the rest is fresh fruit veg (blackberries are 2 for $3.99!) and meats. 3L of veg oil is on for $10 rn. They have $6-10 whole chickens, other cut chicken is 2.99-3.99/Ib, the lean ground beef was on special for 4.99/Ib if I remember. There's a HUGE selection of frozen fish from 4.99/bag of four filets (I've never seen Galen's Loblaws/NoFrills sell that for less than $10!!). This place is amazing and I'm never shopping anywhere else (other than to get the one or two specialties they don't carry the exact brand for). Source

Can we talk about the Tim’s drive-thru at the Barrie South GO?

Can we talk about the Tim’s drive-thru at the Barrie South GO? Who on earth designed this thing? On your way into the drive-thru line from Yonge, you’re competing with people entering/exiting the drive-thru itself, the Tim’s parking lot, and the cars exiting the Mr. Lube. Not to mention you’re blind from cars coming in off St Paul’s until you’re pretty much in the line itself. They should just restrict access from Yonge St altogether and divert the line up to St Paul’s. Source

Not a concern! But Barrie animal people help me out so I know more for next time

Not a concern! But Barrie animal people help me out so I know more for next time, I was trying to help this guy cross the road and he was the most friendliest turtle. I assume he isn’t a snapper because they usually have a horned nose and didn’t even try to bite me! Perhaps I am wrong but happy to report he made it to the other side with some assistance. It’s my 5th save so far! Source

Anyone’s kid missing this bicycle?

Anyone's kid missing this bicycle? It's been left in a spot where I know it was either left behind or stolen and left. Let me know if it's yours and what it says on the side and I'll let you know where it is. (It was still in the same spot as of 2 hours ago) Source

This is what happens when squatters take over, full 40 yard bin worth of garbage

This is what happens when squatters take over, full 40 yard bin worth of garbage and it’s full, not to mention the state of the house it’s self. Worst part is there were young kids here as well. Source

LETITA HEIGHTS !! Someone broke into 2 of our vehicles last night

LETITA HEIGHTS !! Someone broke into 2 of our vehicles last night … ya ya “make sure your doors are locked” mine normally is. Make sure you check yours. They went in the passenger door and left it slightly open. But they stole my wallet. Tried to use one of my credit card at the petro Canada on Dunlop and ferndale. I got a text at 5:10 so not sure exactly what time they stole it. Between 10 and 5 I guess. I am looking to see if anyone finds a wallet. Or health cards for 1 adult and 3 kids(one has passed away). As well as kids debit cards with their pictures on them. I honestly don’t know what else I had in there as I don’t use it often. Just keep it in my car so I always have our stuff. I’ll attach a picture of what my wallet looks like. Source
