Currently with bell for mobility service but am looking to switch Is Roger’s coverage any good in Barrie?

Our family just moved to Barrie and I’m having a difficult time finding a family doctor. I have a 4 week old and we are both still under our midwives care but in 2 weeks we will need to be find a general practitioner. I had a paediatrician for my first child 17 years ago but it’s my understanding that paediatricians are referral based now. Can anyone recommend a great family doctor in Barrie or Innisfil?

Where would you find Nanaimo bars in town?

Hello! I want to take a friend out to get our nails done together for her birthday but the salon needs to be very clean! I’ve gotten nails done in the past where the technician didn’t clean or sanitize the tools between clients… Where do you recommend that is hygienic? 🙏🏻 Thank you!

Hello everyone. Looking for recommendations for spring.

Quotes have been all over the place.

Anyone used a company that they were satisfied with at a reasonable price? Lawn care after service would be a bonus.

As the title says/ I’m currently on a hunt for high-temp cheese for sausage making.. I’m wondering if anyone would know how I can get my hands on it… im aware I can purchase it online, but I thought I’d try locally first.. I’m willing to travel to GTA or anywhere in Barrie & area to find it ..

Thinking about finishing my basement looking for a recommendation for a local handyman.

Wondering what kind of costs to expect for someone to do insulation, electrical and drywall.

I know this is the Barrie subreddit, but I live here. I have a new client in Huntsville who I have done a decent amount of work for this year. For Christmas I usually give out booze or gift cards to good clients.

Does anyone know of a good restaurant in Huntsville that I can buy a digital gift card for ? I'd rather not make the 4 hr round trip to physically hand him a bottle of booze he may or may not like. But I may need to, since I can't find any chain restaurants up there.

My 2 options so far for vets have been Aldergrove and SBAH

Both of these two options im not too ecstatic about due to the pricing.

SBAH i feel like im being upsold on potential tests that my pet "may" require

And aldergrove is just expensive (i havent had too many instances where they try to upsell random tests but they'll always do a bloodwork and im quite ignorant to this stuff so i dont know if im being punked)

If anyone can possibly put some better options for me in here or just tell me im shit out of luck

Ive put thousands of dollars into the treatment of my sick cat, and ill do anything for this animal but for the amount of money ive put in, the results are minimal

Thanks

I need help hanging my Christmas lights

Does anyone know someone who can help?

Hi! I placed a pickup order today at the No frills wellington location and I forgot the two bags of potatoes (Russett and Gold) in the cart outside. I'm going through a miscarriage and obviously have a lot on my mind. The bags have my last name and phone number on them I believe (the little white sticker they place when you're picking up an order). I only realized when i got home so when i went all the way back to check the cards, someone had taken them and they weren't at customer service.

I'm hoping it was a misunderstanding and that whomever took them really needed the potatoes and didnt realize they were someone elses purchase. I'm pretty sad that if that's the case, that someone would see purchased food and just take it home instead of returning it to customer service. Left a very bad taste in my mouth for the community.

Sincerely, a grieving mother who's ONE craving the entire pregnancy was potatoes and this (what was planned to be) meal was my way of coping.

I’m just curious

Which is the best place to see decoration of Christmas now (area or house)

Hi. We live on D’Ambrosio drive and just had someone sneaking around our patio and footprints in the snow show they were around our windows as well..Someone knocked loudly at our patio door but we don’t answer unless we know someone is coming and not usually at our patio door… Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone around there..it happened around 6:15 pm.

Hey y’all I know this is Barrie but i am in the end of my second pregnancy and I chose Alliston midwives vs Barrie (I’m inbetween area wise) because they had great reviews and I didn’t imagine after having a natural birth id be having a c section. Well now I am 37 weeks and this kid is breech so it looks like a c section it is… that being said I have seen the investigation into Stevenson and know nurses who have worked there that said they would never get a c section there. Anyone have any recent c section experience there? I spent the beginning of my labour at RVH in 2020 and had a terrible time there. I ended up getting ambulanced to Orillia for lack of space and loved it there but I don’t think it’s a liable option as it’s at least 45 minutes away… should I tell them I want to book at RVH? Can I? I feel pretty overwhelmed.

Hey guys! So I’m currently living between Hickling trail and Hopkins Road in the north part of Barrie, and there’s this dog that is crying everyday for hours and hours. I think it’s because probably he is outside the most part of the day and now that is snowing I’m getting worried about him. What can I do? I was thinking on locating in which house he is and leave a note to the owners, and If he keeps crying then calling the cops, or I don’t know who you Canadians would call.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward for your advice

Great to see the first big snowfall of the season in Barrie! This is part of what made the city so attractive to my family and I. That being said, can anyone who lives near a good tobogganing hill confirm whether or not we have enough snow today to ride the hills? We are in South Barrie, and the snow is now covering the roads and coating everything white.

My kids are staring out the windows and itching to get out for some thrills.

Hi everyone! I’m curious if anyone knows of any local soup or cookie exchanges happening in the area, or if you have any tips on how to get involved in one? I’d love to participate and connect with others who enjoy sharing homemade goodies. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Saw this mentioned on RedFlagDeals and I got it to work so I wanted to share here.

If you're an existing Rogers internet customer, call their cancellation line (855) 201-9547 and tell them you want to submit a cancellation request for the future (i said end of December). This will only work if you're not on any contract of course.

When they ask why, say you're going to switch to CarryTel because they're offering $55/m for 1Gbps (which is true, here's the offer)

Rogers immediately offered me what she referred to as the "manager special". $50/month for 24 months PLUS a $100 bill credit. This is on contract, but considering the offer, I feel it's worth it.

My current promo with Rogers was ending in the new year, so I am happy I don't have to haggle with them about my internet now for another 2 years.

Just thought i'd share in case anyone is looking for a break on their internet services!

Here's the thread on RedFlagDeals if you'd like to read more about it. Lots of other people in the comments were able to get the deal with no issues.
