I'll be coming down from Bancroft area on Thursday, but I'm down to go a little out of my way. Just need one, but I'd like to get a few if I can.

Look, I know that former mayor Steve Clarke is something of a known quantity, but doesn't it bother anyone that even this late into the race, Clarke neither has an updated campaign webpage or a even an updated platform?

Seriously, if you Google "Steve Clarke Orillia," aside from an article or two about entering the race, literally just about all else dates back to his last run for mayor. ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2018!

The thing is, the City of Orillia has changed a lot in those last eight years (and not for the better). Could we not at least expect an updated platform to reflect the current state of Orillia?

Clarke shouldn't be able to just waltz back into his old position without letting Orillia know first where he stands on these issues

Hi - I don't live in Orillia, and have never really eaten anywhere there. I'm trying to find a nice italian restaurant that is good for a date this week. In Barrie, think of like Il Buco.. something like that..

I see Theo's Eatery, Tre Sorelle, Rustica Pizza Vino..

I just would prefer an adult restaurant that isn't crowded with Children for a first date. I'm not a snob or anything, but, we're older adults (50's).. Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way..

Can someone comment on the atmosphere for these, or even one I didn't mention?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I'm writing in hopes that I can get your honest opinion. My husband is Canadian (from GTA/ Barrie/ Midland), and I'm from the US, we live in Colorado. He really wants to move back, potentially to Orillia. For context, i despise the orange man. Lake Ontario is Lake Ontario. His tariffs are idiotic, and it's heartbreaking to watch the way Canada has been treated. Enraging, really.

My question is, would people be generally anti-American enough that i would not be welcome? A relative who lives nearby has told me she would worry about how someone from the US may be treated.

Give it to me straight. Thank you.

What are some good locations in Orillia for nerdy type things? I’m new to Orillia and want to try and find some community here. Any good places that have nerd stuff? TCG, table top rpg, video game things, etc? Open to all sorts of things. Tournaments, get togethers, events. Wondering if there is local stores or groups that have these kinds of things.

Thank you!

Anyone know of a poodle breeder in or around the Orillia area?

I'm feeling midlife crisis-y and can't be arsed to drive down to Barrie unless I have to.

Thanks in advance (:

Update: Mission successful, Zumiez had them in stock! I am absolutely going to fall down multiple times, safety gear is a must.

Does anyone know if there are any corn stands in Orillia and where they are?

Where do people take their dry cleaning in Orillia? Do you have a place you'd recommend? I think I've only noticed one around town and would like to get people's thoughts before taking my clothes in. Thanks!

Let’s discuss each councillor candidate! There’s been a ton of talk on the mayoral candidates, but very little on our future ward councillors.

I want to hear everyone’s opinions good or bad and why. Preferably, let’s try to share information that can be at least somewhat verified. That way we can all make informed decisions. There’s a lot of misinformation being spread as well as personal feelings in stead of actual usable info.

We only get to vote for seats in our own ward, but it’s still important to know where the other councillor members stand on issues.

I got some scrap lumber I need to get rid of. Anyone with a trailer looking to make some walkin' around cash?

Hi there! My husband and I are looking for a babysitter for our 9 month old son - just someone to watch over him/play with him while I do some chores around the house and husband works from home. Would be very thankful for any recommendations or any leads on where to start looking! Thanks :)
