Post content summary:Hi everyone! I'm a 27-year-old male looking to meet some new people locally and rebuild my social circle. I'm starting my online program this fall to become a library technician. I recently went through a period of change where my partner of 3.5 years (M25) decided to call off our wedding 4 months ago, and I'm really looking to build some genuine, mutually supportive friendships in Barrie. I realize it gets harder to make friends as you get older, but I'm open to meeting people for coffee, walks, or even local friends

Currently looking for an apartment or room to rent, what areas should I avoid/choose (although I could also move to Innisfil, Essa, or Angus)? I have a lot of questions, so give me the 411 on B

There are many amazing 'hikes' within 10 minutes of Barrie. Places like McRae Lake also have great crown camping. I haven't found a 'health' community yet, but there are some nice yoga studios. I think where you live should depend on what you're looking for. If you live outside Barrie, can you handle the constant commute? I personally love the north.

5. Is it worth bringing up a teacher's bad behavior from nearly 30 years ago?
Original English title:Is it worth it to bring up shitty behaviour from a teacher that happened almost 30 years ago?
Post content summary:I'm not sure what prompted me to look into this, but a teacher who abused and threatened me when I was a kid seems to have been promoted to principal of a Catholic elementary school in Barrie. I know people change as they get older, but no matter the era, there's no reason for an adult to go after a child, and I feel there should be some accountability. It was the 90s, so of course nothing was reported, but I still think about this guy occasionally

I’m not sure what compelled me to look into it, but a teacher who was abusive and threatened me as a child appears to have been promoted to principal at one of Barrie’s elementary Catholic schools.

Original English title:Business Profile: Barrie area resident Joe Kelsey, The Dickie Dee Guy
Post content summary:When I recently wrote an article about Dickie Dee ice cream, I didn't know what reaction to expect. I tapped into something powerful; nostalgia. The main source and commenter for the article is Joe Kelsey, a current Barrie-area resident and former Dickie Dee ice cream rider and distributor.

9. Where to dispose of unusable textiles?
Original English title:Where can I get rid of unusable textiles?
Post content summary:I know donation bins around the city are a cornerstone of recycling, but I'm finding mixed information about whether they accept unusable textiles (like old dirty clothes) for recycling or only lightly used items. I'd feel bad if they don't take these unusable items for recycling. Does anyone have any thoughts? I'll go to the dump if necessary. Also, yes, I've already cut many of them up for cleaning rags, but I really have too many now.
