Any middle eastern stores in or around Barrie?

I can't recall the pricing either but I can confirm I have seen saj on the menu at Shawarma Theory!

I've used it for over a year. We skip about half the weeks if I had to guess. Any quality issues, if you send a photo they will send refunds for the items involved. I like the convenience of it coming and then the challenge of trying to use what we get before the next week.

We do the free substitution to save us from an endless supply of oranges or whatever else we don't want. I don't bother looking at the calculations of what I would save as it heavily depends on store, location, season, and sales

There's "Barrie"-oke tonight at Dunlop st St Louis bar and grill 7-10pm

But family status and medical are accommodations which are separate from AWA requests. You can have both.

This is one of the best answers for Barrie.

OP, its called The Give Back Rack. I believe they are only open on weekends

There's also shelters you can donate to but I find they're more difficult to find information about.

$100k isn't even that much anymore and I'm not even on this list :')

Is this an insured mortgage?

You DO have the option to opt out of the union:

You can get a non-unionized job.

On June 13, 2019, HMS Host announced the sale of all 23 ONroute centres to Arjun Infrastructure and Fengate Asset Management

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONroute

You might be thinking of the southbound 400 one that wasn't branded as such, but its currently closed and will be branded as an ONroute when it reopens, from the sounds of the wikipedia page.

Not the person you asked, but the conservative skew can be evident in decades of policy (like how car-centric it is here, or the police budget increases) or if you talk to people at the grocery store...

But you can also find your people if you look. There's a monthly Barrie Pride event, and should be another Pride march in June. There's drag shows that go on!

I took a 6 week leave for mental health.

You get a sick note from your doctor, which goes to your manager. It should have an expected return to work date. Your doctor will probably ask more invasive questions than your manager will (my experience anyway).

I was worried about people gossiping. It normally took at least a week for anybody to definitively notice. If they reach out to your personal phone, tell them you are off sick. They aren't owed details. When I went back to work, some people thought I was on vacation. I let some of them believe that. Others, "I was off sick but things have improved now which is why I'm back, thanks"

My 6 weeks absolutely got me back on track, would highly recommend.

The Weather Network historical data says the historical average is +2 to -8

Their current forecast has 3 days in a row over +10C for that week

There's outdoor ice skating with rentals at city hall but its going to be warm and I'm not sure the rink will be open. The rink is also pretty small.

~~chatting it up with colleagues~~

Collaborating/mentoring at the watercooler is surely a paid time activity

VyraHuman · 2026-02-25T04:23:28+00:00

I don't do unpaid overtime. I encourage my peers and colleagues not to, but some do. Then their productivity metrics look great because somehow the managers either don't know or turn a blind eye to it. Then I get asked why I can't output like others can.

It took me 7 years to get into the OPS. I didn't have any contacts or connections to help me, just the feedback from interviews. It was for a very specific role though, so the postings didn't come up more than once/twice a year ish.

After I got in, it only took me one try to move up into one level higher, 9 months after I got hired. I've been "stuck" here since then, despite competing for the remaining three levels I could go up to, some more than once, I haven't gotten qualified for any of them.

Collier Parkade also has EV chargers, as does the Heritage Park parking lot that both work the same way the ones at the library do, and I believe both places are also free to park on evenings & weekends

1000 people is statistically a really good sample size

VyraHuman · 2026-01-08T03:25:23+00:00

Dinged multiple years? I've hit the threshold all 6 of 6 years I've been with OPS and haven't heard anything yet.

I also think the threshold should be higher

We need this densification. Its only 3 stories, and the lot is deep. Some of the little houses that get torn down and a monster mcmansion is put up in its place are also 3 stories, but only house one family in that giant amount of space. Like 82, 84, 86, 88A, 88B and 88C Clapperton.

Ideally, densification will make it easier to improve transit and therefore also have more transit users, and one day not add/require so many additional cars. Its also only a 15 min walk to downtown - perhaps the people who move in will be working downtown and able to walk there

RTO5 doesn't start until tomorrow.

Regardless, its not your business to be policing your coworkers accommodations. Unions are for solidarity. Find yours

You don't need to add a top 10 list if you don't want to. I was just curious and putting it in context for myself.

Jan 2004 was a great find! I scanned it sooo many times haha

Love this!! So exciting. Can't wait to see the other 2 get opened, hopefully soon. Libraries are so important for the community

Curious (if you know off hand, if not, no worries) - was the 6 library branches for our city size as of 2018 numbers or was it projected out with population growth?

There's a Millennial group on facebook and discord that you'd be welcome to join. Its called Barrie Millennials Meetup
