r/Orillia

Hey girls, a few months ago I posted about making a local girl’s group and we’ve got one started called the Broad Squad. We’ve been meeting about once a month and have done games at Cards and Coasters, trivia at a couple different places (we won once!) and most recently we’re planning to go roller skating at The Roller Skating Place sometime this month. We also have a book club started through the group that tries to meet about once a month!

If you’re interested in joining, you can find us on Facebook at

This feels mildly vulnerable to post, but here we are :)

I’m turning 35(F), not originally from the area, and realizing I’d really love to make some genuine female friendships around Muskoka/Barrie/Orillia-ish. I'm in Muskoka, but visit surrounding areas often.

I'm pretty low-key and easygoing. I love hanging by the water with snacks, games, crafts or books, going for walks/hikes, window shopping, exploring cute little areas/towns, attempting pickleball badly, learning golf very slowly, or rotting on the couch binge-watching something with snacks and weed. Recently also started exploring taking classes in sewing, painting, etc. I can yap, but also love to listen. I'm told I'm funny and so much myself that's its easy for others to be themselves too.

To be clear, I’m genuinely just looking for platonic female friendships/gal pals. Not dating, not anything weird lol.

Bonus points if you’re also in your “I want bestie girlfriends but it's hard and scary” era, and consider a walk, coffee, and sitting by water a full itinerary.

If this sounds like your vibe, message me queen!!

Moved here a while back and still figuring out how to actually meet people outside of work.

Not looking for dating apps or Facebook groups that die in a week. Just wondering if anyone else finds it genuinely hard to build a social life here as an adult.
What’s worked for you (if anything)?

Welcome to Doug Ford's Ontario, where environmental laws are mere suggestions.

I'm wondering how much your vet charges if you want a prescription filled at an outside pharmacy?

Looking for a recomendation for a spot for a mid week celebratory dinner in Orillia or close surrounding area. Quiet and intimate would be top goals other than great food obviously, but also special and memorable.

Hey folks, I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I just wanted to ask if there will be no bus service tomorrow, because I am working tonight and need to take a bus home in the morning. If the bus isn't running, I'll have to take an Uber.

Anyway, have a good night

Anyone know of any good books on the local history of the orillia/ramara area? other than that really wide one with the local stories that i cant remember the name of at the moment

Looking for a doctor in the orillia or barrie area (I live in oro). My current doctor is in Mississauga and its just not doable to go down there all the time. I need a doctor who would actually take my medical concerns seriously, as I have a rare birth defect that has been left largely untreated by previous doctors.

Preferably a female doctor if possible but at this point I'll take anything

Hi I’m 21 (f) looking for a gym buddy who wants to get fit with me at fit for less in orillia :) looking for someone in the 19-24 demographic and don’t care about gender as long as we have semi similar interests and I think you aren’t a serial killer ♥️

As the tittle says I’m opening a bank account from my home country for savings and they need copies of my passport work permit address proof to be attested or certified.

Looking for something affordable around Orillia if needed. Thanks!

Hello All,

Does anyone know of good local catering service that provide meals for daycares/schools, or have experience with child-friendly catering? Looking for healthy options and allergy-friendly support if possible.

Appreciate any recommendations — thanks!
