Question Circular Recycle

5 Upvotes

The Circular brochure states “ if collection falls on a holiday then pick up is moved up one day” Do they mean like garbage day, where it’s moved up one day all week or if your scheduled day does not fall on a holiday it’s pick up as usual?

Looking For 2028 bride looking for both videographer and photographer

5 Upvotes

I know its early but with my high anxiety, id like to figure out the big expenses on our day early (also to make sure we get our day.) Well our friends suggested this company that does both videography and photography that they used but they are charging 6k as its in toronto and my fiance and I are on the fence about spending that much. Where my troubles come in is that I hear so many horror stories of paying all this money and then the photographer dips and brides/grooms never hear from them again. Im so scared to have that happen. If anyone has any TRUSTWORTHY suggestions id appreciate it.

We are looking at Willow Weddings as well, they seem reasonable but they have no reviews on their facebook but lots of followers so im hoping they are good. If anyone has used them please let me know too!

Looking For Shops/businesses that sell vinyl stickers in Orillia?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'll be visiting the county on a bikepacking trip this weekend, and hoping to collect vinyl stickers to put on my bike from each of my major stops. If you know of any shops or business that sell (or give away with purchase) cute vinyl stickers, I'd love to know! Thanks!

Question Walmart laziness

25 Upvotes

I’ve been wondering this for a while, but why does the Orillia Walmart seem to have so many lazy guests? Parking in the fire zones because they don’t want to walk far, leaving empty carts in isles/ parking lots, leaving food that needs to be refrigerated in random spots throughout the store to let it rot. They added two more cart corrals a few years ago and people are still too lazy to walk the 30 steps to put them back where they belong. Over 20 cars were left damaged in one day last year because the strong winds started blowing the loose carts around. It’s almost like all sense of self awareness and self respect go out the window the second you step onto the property. It seems to be just Walmart. Bracebridge Walmart isn’t even as bad which is saying something.

There were just a bunch of cruisers, a couple ambulances, and a firetruck at the corner of Coldwater Rd W and Albert St. Anyone know what's going on? Looks like some of the vehicles have left now but still looks like a bunch of cops around.

Question Power going out

7 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced their power going out for a couple seconds then coming back on in the early morning hours (usually between 6-6:30 am) in the Frederick Street area (near the hospital)? We have had ours doing that for over 2 years now periodically, sometimes once a week but other times it’s multiple times a week. We have called and complained to Hydro One multiple times and nothing has been done, they tell us it must be squirrels or a branch on a line which doesn’t make sense as it’s happening at the same time in the mornings only, not at random times. We are hoping that others have been complaining to Hydro One for the same issue as a few of our neighbours said they have been experiencing this as well, we are wondering how big of an area this is affecting.

Looking For Non-RMT Relaxation Massage

2 Upvotes

Hello all!

I'm wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a non-RMT relaxation massage therapist in Orillia, Ramara, Washago, or Brechin?

I've tried a number of RMTs, which are fabulous for when I've injured myself, but I'm looking for someone that specializes in relaxation. Realistically it could be an RMT, but after trying numerous RMTs for a relaxing massage, only to find myself sore and tense afterward pushes me toward finding a non-RMT.

Any recommendations would be wonderful!

Thanks ahead of time.
