Taking one of the oldest most established, Historical Streets and Neighbourhoods

Taking one of the oldest most established, Historical Streets and Neighbourhoods in all of Barrie and sell out to Outsiders and destroy an entire community’s quality of life that we’ve come to know for decades and generations. Century old trees are no more and making way for backyard parking lots, 4-storeys with rooftop gathering, x15 car parking on a single detached home property… We are asking those of you that still have a heart and a soul to please sign-up for the Public Hearing on Tuesday February 27th as we need to stand in mass solidarity to try and preserve what little remains of Barrie, Ontario’s History. #cityofbarrie #thecityofbarrie Source

I’m a Barrie resident since 2008. One of my hobbies is metal detecting.

(Not a concern) I'm a Barrie resident since 2008. One of my hobbies is metal detecting. "BountyFisher" is an alias I use in social media, it combines the names of the first two metal detectors I used. I've been doing it on and off since I was a teen. Due to age, I do it now mostly for exercise and therapeutic reasons (the outdoors is my happy place). I am seeking permissions to detect on properties, large acreage or farm fields. I am wiling to work out any arrangement with the land owner to split finds in a mutually agreeable manner. I am a responsible, ethical individual who has always put my best foot forward in any hobby I pursue. I have been very fortunate to establish a permission out in Coldwater last year with a wonderful couple, and look forward to continuing to develop further permission opportunities within the Simcoe County region. If you have ever wondered what kind of history is on your property, or even if you want to further your understanding of family genera…

Just curious to see if anyone else has encountered this yet

Just curious to see if anyone else has encountered this yet of receiving text messages claiming that you haven’t paid your ETR bill if you have been on the 407? We haven’t been on since early Fall of 2023 and we paid that bill (will confirm with bank) my kiddo also received same text, so I am ignoring it for the moment. But also wanted to share for those who may have been on the 407 then get a message like this when you know you paid your bill. Happy Saturday Barrie residents! Source

My friends vehicle was broken into

Not sure if this is allowed. Delete if not. My friends vehicle was broken into last night. 2 of his swords were taken. Pictured is 1 of them. Please keep an eye out and please let him know if you see it pop up anywhere. (These are not sharp, they’re blunted swords used for Historical European Martial Arts) Hi friends, I wish this was a post made in better conditions. Last night my car was burglarized and part of the loot taken amongst some other personal items was my beloved regenyei feder and a kvetun sabre that I was borrowing from my coach. I humbly come before you all to ask you keep your eyes out... More Source
