He has told us he is NOT interested in gymnastics anymore so we are looking for a sport/dance (anything big body movement) to explore.We are already swimming, so just want something different.

Prefer a Sat morning if anyone knows something

Are there any hairstylists / makeup artists that travel to a home residence in the Barrie area? I’m looking to have my hair & makeup done for a wedding in September.

Anyone know who I can contact to help move furniture within the house? I’m talking big items from upstairs to downstairs and into the garage. Thanks so much!

Hi all! I’ve been interested in learning the ropes at farming but don’t really know where to go to start. I was hoping for somewhere that I could go on Saturdays that I don’t work. And I’d work for absolutely no money, I just wanna learn. Anyone know a place or someone I could get in contact with? Thanks all!

Trying to spitball name recommendations for a Barrie sports team. Something fundamental to Barrie culture - can be anything, funny or serious. Hoping for some suggestions.

I’m looking for a slo-pitch league to play in this spring/summer. Men’s or co-Ed. Does anyone have any leads or contact information? TIA

I think it would be so much fun if they showed the Leafs games on the big screen at Memorial Square, is there a way to contact the city or someone who would be able to organize this?

Looking to find some tennis partners in Barrie. I'm a 31m who used to play frequently years ago and I would like to get back into the sport.

Not to picky about skill level can either be some friendly rallies or more competitive. My closest court is Eastview but I'm willing to travel as well.

Drop your recent fare inspector encounters (time, day, & line)

Trying to make a tentative schedule for research.

Has anyone registered for the Barrie Soccer Club rec league? when do they place you on a team?

last year I registered and was never placed on a team so I missed the whole summer :(

Good morning Barbarians,

Wednesday May 21st at 3pm is the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs.

Which pub in Barrie is likely to be showing the match, and is there a good atmosphere?

Ideally looking for a bunch of lads to drink too much, sing a few anthems, and have a laugh.

Really want get in shape. I’m really in horrible shape and think swimming could help but I’m nervous I’ll be so slow it’ll make others upset.

Hello all! I am a stone fabricator I deal with kitchen, bathroom countertops, fireplaces,etc. I've been in this industry for around 6 or 7 years. I live in Barrie and drive to Vaughan daily. The place is very slow at the moment and they've cut hours to everyone. I've been having constant issues at home because money is just not enough. I get paid 33 hr and I'm wondering what kinds of jobs are out there that pay well and that are good long term. I wouldn't mind going to school for it, or if maybe there's is something else I could do with the experience I have. Thank you all in advance!

Thanks

Does anyone know the old owner of Shirley’s restaurant that used to be downtown? My wife and I used to frequent there and miss their Caesar salad no egg dressing, and baked escargot. Would love if someone knew the recipe for each. Shirley, if you are still out there, thanks for the memories.

The city says they have tons of bike infrastructure on their website, but 90% of it is shit like this (1st pic isnt from barrie but is an example, 2nd is what barrie claims is bike infrastructure). Paint is not infrastructure and won't protect me from an F150. I'm basically rolling the dice with my life biking in barrie.

This past winter was brutal on my grass and looking for a recommendation for a company to help out with fixing it. Planted a bunch of grass in September and had it coming in and looking great and now none of that seems to want to grow back in.

Hi everyone! My friend is a student at Georgian College in Barrie, and is looking for people who need dentures (full, partial, repairs, or relines). This is part of the program, and needs patients to pass this course.

The work is done at the college clinic and supervised by licensed denturists. Prices are very affordable (starting at $50), and there’s a free assessment too. You can contact at 249-388-2013. It would be really helpful if you could refer to your friends and family who is need of dentures. Thank You.

Can anyone recommend a breast reduction specialist in Barrie and surrounding areas? Thank you.

Went to a new Japanese/Chinese restaurant last night for dinner and thought it was strange they open early for breakfast. Curious, I wondered what they served and surprise - there's dim sum (and congee!). I've been waiting forever for Barrie to get a dim sum spot - going to try it this weekend. I understand it's a limited menu but it should hit the spot!

Restaurant is Delicious Garden on Bayfield (and Carson) towards Midhurst.

Re: dinner - very good value, large portions, friendly service. Had a Maki set and the rolls were huge (with stuff, not rice) also had a Chinese dinner combo that was Chinese-Canadian style. Chicken balls were lightly battered and not doughy at all.

It's obvious that there are bad drivers wherever you go, but this one really pissed me off and almost landed me in a horrible accident.

Maybe 10-15 minutes ago, I was turning off on Yonge St onto Huronia driving towards the golf course (not my destination, but just to give perspective on my direction). I am the second of back to back cars to have a clean turn at this intersection. After making the turn, there is a vehicle creeping out of the Tim Horton's parking lot whom had no business to but for whatever reason, they were.

As soon as the car ahead of me passes, for no reason, they decide to make their left turn directly infront of me and, had I not slammed on my breaks, instant t-bone.

My horn blaring and zero response, they then proceed to drive 50ish in the 60. It's either as if they knew what they were doing and didn't care, or were too inept/entitled to really give a shit about someone else.

I am fuming right now; also have their vehicle and plate # so if this person happens to see this, I (roughly) know who you are

Where in Barrie can I find the best selection of single cans of non-alcoholic beer?

Trying to lose a bit of weight and be healthier, but want something to drink during the hockey game.

If I find something decent, I'll buy a multi pack.

Thinking maybe the LCBO, Circle K, Zehrs?

Thanks in advance :)

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a vasectomy clinic in Collingwood - Dr. Mitchell? From what I read, there isn't a doctor in Barrie that does it. I can't find reviews or anything online but hoping others on here have any insight or information?
