My old dentist’s practice was taken over (I had been happy with this dentist for over 25 years) and after a couple years and a few issues with work done by this new dentist, I’m looking to make a change. Can anyone recommend a good dentist in Barrie? I don’t want to see a different dentist every time I’m there, so a practice like the one at the mall isn’t a good fit. Many thanks to anyone who responds!

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can get a flu shot in the city right now? Preferably somewhere that doesn’t require an appointment or has short wait times.

Pharmacies, clinics, anything helps. Thanks!

Anyone use this subscription to get better deals on all inclusive vacations?

Have been using this service for about a yr off and on. Off, because the quality is near rotten. Recently did a comparison to local grocery store and though OB claims it's a $20 + savings, it's more like a $4 to $5 saving, but is it really when it has to be consumed in two days or tossed. Just looking for others who used the service and what your experience was trying to save a few bucks on groceries.

Winter tires need to be changed to summer. Already on the rims for both. Any recommendations?

Has anyone else had issues with World Gym ignoring cancellation requests?

I’ve been trying to cancel my membership with the World Gym Barrie location and I’m honestly at a loss at this point. I’ve followed the proper steps and I’m still being ignored.

I requested cancellation and sent a written letter that was tracked and confirmed as delivered on April 2nd. I’ve also tried reaching out through email multiple times, but I’ve either been ignored completely or told over the phone that staff “can’t help” me with cancellations.

The reason I cancelled is because I went in one time and multiple machines were broken with no signage or warning that they were out of order or unsafe. There was nothing indicating they were being repaired or even acknowledged as broken, which felt very different from other gyms I’ve been to where equipment is clearly marked when it’s down.

On top of that, the facility was dirty, and everything felt extremely cramped and squished together, which made the overall experience uncomfortable and not what I expected.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has dealt with similar issues at this location or with World Gym in general when trying to cancel, and how you got it resolved.

Hi all,

Just recently finished my basement and have found a pool table I would like moved and assembled. I can only seem to find ads for GTA based services, hoping for someone local as the table in question is north of Barrie. Thanks!

Hey! Got a day off today and tomorrow so just wanted to drink but dunno where to go.

Looking for fun things or events happening in bars but no luck yet.. Any suggestions please??

This big sign in the parking lot by the Salvation Army and Pharmasave at Essa & Tiffin looks like it's gone. Someone telling me it fell down - I drive by there all the time but didn't notice.

Does anyone know when this sign came down?

I am looking for a store that carries silver jewelry for kids. It seems most of the local stores have adult jewelry only. Any recommendations?
