What Barrie's Talking About This Week
1) Protecting Yourself From Porch Pirates...
It is the season for online gift shopping. With that comes the ever-present danger of porch pirates stealing packages left unattended on your front porch. Police are telling us that there has been an increase in thefts this year.
Barrie 360's Will Konken gets some background and tips for protecting yourself from Barrie Police communications coordinator Peter Leon...
2) Anna Goldsmith and the Busy Year...
It has been a busy year for Innisfil singer/songwriter Anna Goldsmith. From writing to performing, or as she puts it "living life and having fun"
MJ got to catch up with Anna between breaths...
3) Remembrance Day in Orillia...
Remembrance Day is around the corner. But what if you don't have anyone to remember this year? We have generations whose families have never been to war or involved in a peacekeeping mission. That notion is not lost on Jayne Turvey at the Orillia Public Library, who has been running a Remembrance Day program for a number of years to give families a reason to remember.
