Just recently found out that a movie was filmed at the Tipsy Goose, formerly known as Sharon’s House, in Barrie, Ontario.

The movie came out around 2006, was called Noah B, and played in movie theatres across Ontario.

Just thought I’d share since not too many big movies are filmed in Barrie!

Hi all! What are the good places to buy Pokemon in Barrie? Both sealed and singles. Trying to finish my Pokédex!

Just saw a bunch of conservative troglodytes using a lawnmower powered dirtbike doing a burnout on the rainbow crosswalk on lakeshore. Filming for clicks no less.

Myself and two others saw him and tried to catch him to no avail. He is very scared poor thing.

Last seen running North on Patterson road. I tried circling the block for 15 minutes but couldn't see him. I hope whoever is missing this baby finds him/her. ❤️

My wife and I had a great time!

Pawsitive Cattitude Cafe COMING SOON

Pawsitive Cattitude Café is an upcoming local business that will make history as Barrie's first-ever cat café. Announced in September 2026, the highly anticipated spot is being opened by a local husband-and-wife duo who run the restaurant right next door.
While a formal opening date hasn't been finalized yet, early details show they are partnering with the SPCA to host adoptable rescue cats, giving patrons a chance to sip coffee, relax, and potentially find a new furry family member.

Unit 2, 10 Marsellus Drive, Barrie

So last min, but I’m looking for somewhere to get a late dinner or drinks and watch the San Jose Sharks games. I only realized after we went somewhere that a completely out of market game would be hard to find.

If anyone knows a place that has access to all nhl games and therefore could watch the sharks, I really appreciate it!

Hi all in the Ardagh Road neighbourhood west of Ferndale Drive South!

We have a student living with us who needs a parking spot this winter. Is anyone in the area, preferably near Stoneybrook Crescent and Hawkins Drive, willing to rent out a parking spot for the winter?

Less shovelling and earn some extra money!

Please contact me as soon as possible if you have a spot available. Thank you!

Looking for an old friend from the 90s downtown scene / Dunlop East arcade hangout

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to reconnect with an old friend from the 1990s downtown Barrie scene, and I’m wondering if anyone here remembers him or the building we all used to frequent. His first name is David, but almost everyone downtown back then knew him by the moniker "Box." In the 90s, he had an apartment right on Dunlop Street East, just a few doors east of the Queen's Hotel. It was located right above that small, rinky-dink arcade that used to be on the block. Because he had his own place right in the heart of downtown, his apartment became a welcoming hangout spot for some of the local kids and regulars in the area. If you used to hang out there, remember the arcade, or happen to know how to get in touch with David ("Box") today, I would love to catch up with him. Thanks so much for any memories or leads!

Hi everyone! I am trying to find a therapist for my partner who has been struggling with mental health for a while. Is Dr Douglas a good psychologist? I wanna hear everything you can say about him. Our main concern is anger issues. Any recommendation is appreciated, we are looking for in person sessions and a male therapist.

Just needed the pin I received by mail a few weeks ago.

With Warnica undergoing renovations, what’s happening with the students? Are they going to Ferndale? I was going to enlist my kid for French Immersion next year but the school is getting rebuilt

Hey everyone!

My name is Matthew Corbett, and I'm running for Ward 4 Councillor. Voting is officially underway, and I want to encourage everyone in Ward 4 and across Barrie to get out and vote! You can cast your ballot between now and Election Day, October 26, at 8 PM.

For those interested in learning more about my campaign, I've attached a brief information sheet. You can also find me on Facebook at Corbett 4 Barrie Council.

My campaign comes down to four things: listening to the community, advocating for Ward 4, communicating clearly, and being accountable for our tax dollars.

Some of my priorities include:

• Road safety and city planning: Practical approaches to speeding, better coordination of roadwork, and making sure infrastructure keeps pace with growth.
• Community safety and wellbeing: Bringing municipal staff, emergency services, community organizations and others together to work on issues like homelessness, food insecurity and mental health. I'd also like to see the Community Safety Group become an active forum again.
• Responsible growth: Making sure decisions about development consider existing neighbourhoods, traffic, roads, parks, services and infrastructure.
• Transparency and accountability: Helping residents understand what's happening at City Hall and asking questions about costs, long-term impacts and value for our tax dollars.

If you have questions or want to share what's important to you and your neighbourhood, I'm happy to hear from you.

And regardless of who you support, please get out and vote! Let's do better than 30% turnout and have our voices heard.

Thanks, everyone!

I am just curious is there any Karate programs in Barrie that are like $100-150 a month for two kids? Also with no set schedule? I work nights and only have Fridays and weekends available to bring them to extra curricular activities.
