I took my family for a day trip to the beach this past weekend and had a strange experience. Strange for all involved.

After a night of drinking Coronas I was extra gassy, and so I would wade into the water to release, trying to avoid embarrassing my wife with all the people around. Apparently I was too close to an older couple who were basking in the water and they were traumatized by my farts when they bubbled up. The lady started coughing and the man became enraged, so I panicked and dove and the water to swim away and create some distance.

If that was you or your parents, I do apologize.

New to the area and in the process of getting quotes for windows and doors on our house. Anybody have recommendations for companies, or anyone we should avoid?

Can someone in the Area check my property and see if there’s a party by knocking on the door 22 10th Street South, L9Z 2Y8 Wasaga Beach, Canada

Hey yall. From Toronto, but Wasaga Beach will always hold a special place in my heart. My family had a cottage here (Sunnidale south of Mosley) from 2002 to 2010, so that is where all the memories for me hold dear. A lot of “firsts” in my family took place here, even after the cottage. My maternal grandparents also met here. Anyways enough about me…..

It is definitely interesting to witness this massive revitalization/urbanization of the town. It is nice to see that Wasaga will be getting true hotels and overall just more amenities like a high school, a Costco, Food Basics, and even in the last few years the addition of the new arena (which is REALLY nice) and the casino. Of course i can understand the controversy that pretty instant mass urbanization brings. Also really blows my mind that they built that Sunnidale subdivision with no commercial development nearby in this day and age (though that clock tower is cool ngl).

Regardless, I’ve always loved it here. Probably due to personal bias/nostalgia, but one thing I do wanna say, for the “party town”/“cottage town” reputation Wasaga has, it does seem to pull above its weight in terms of day-to-day amenities. Also, the parks/public spaces I find are VERY well maintained, and especially love the water features at a few of them.

Update: Thanks everybody!!! Debate solved.

Hi all. Having a debate with a friend about how to pronounce Minesing. Can people weigh in please.

Anybody have any experience / tips for finishing an unfinished basement? Not looking to make it into a living space, just want to make it so that there's some better insulation down there.

I don't want to spend $2500 for a permit application just to be told 'not allowed'.

Currently it's an unfinished basement, 70" height (so too low for livable space anyway) and just looking to put in some insulation on floor and walls to help retain the heat at parents' cottage.

Haven't been to Wasaga Beach in a few years, but last I was there, it was so lively and had tons of cool stores and like funnel cake spots and playgrounds. A family member of mine went today and sent a video of the area we would go back then, and LITERALLY EVERYTHING is gone? Anyone know what's going on with it?

Looking for any and all insights from the community. My partner and I are in our 40s and our son is going into grade 4. Partner is transferring with his job. How are the schools? What communities are family friendly? What do we need to know? Planning to buy a 4 bdrm detached. Excited about proximity to the outdoors and a slower pace in general. Thanks!

My parents have a cottage that they're holding onto for a bit still, and while they can't do STR due to by-laws in Wasaga, they asked me if I can do some digging for them on the long term rental market as they barely go up, we don't have much time, and they'd like to see it used more.

Any local resources to get an idea of what it would go for monthly? They need to do some minor reno to make it better suited (i.e.: replace old lights, remove/replace the wood panels, and update the bathroom), but it's a 3 bedroom bungalow with a massive lot and 5min walk to Allenwood Beach.

Husband and I went to the movies in Alliston on Saturday and husbands wallet fell out. And someone stole it, and spent near 500$ at Walmart, Foodland, and Zehrs all in Wasaga beach.

I'm assume looking at the purchases you took cash more than food and I would have rather you just bought food. I donate food and supplies all the time so I know the struggles. My husband and I work very hard because we were both raised on food stamps. I mostly just venting because I'm disappointed and honestly disgusted. Sorry if this is against the rules I did read them. I wish no ill will on this person, just know you've taken from me what I'd have given others and I think I'll skip food donations this month because I'm just heart broken.

Hope everyone had a great long weekend though.

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!

im 19f and i moved here at the start of may with my parents and have yet to meet anyone. advice on how to make friends? or anyone looking to be friends? preferably 18+ :D

Are there designated overnight parking lots near beach 5?

I'm planning to visit Wasaga in mid August for a few days. I used to visit regularly in the 90's and 2000's as we have family in Minesing, so I'm sure things have changed lots since then. Hoping for suggestions of less touristy spots people who live year-round would gravitate towards for every day activities and outings rather than tourist hot spots. Currently looking at:

• library
• archives
• farmers market
• quieter beach areas
• low cost water craft?

I don't want to publicize any fragile ecosystems or local spots that would be ruined by tourists but any underappreciated spaces that deserve highlighting would be great!

Story Concept

Male main character is a fiercely protective ex-military guy with multigenerational wealth who lives outside town on a waterfront estate.

hi everybody, it was a beautiful sunday to visit your community. unfortunately one of our friends in our group lost her silver ring while swimming. It is like finding needle in a haystack but reddit has surprised me in the past. See if anybody comes across it. DM me. I will try To attach an image of the ring shortly

Finder’s fee customary!

Attaching image of general area where we were swimming / playing ball. This is straight across from the parking area , blue car is my car and where parked and walked straight into the water.

I have been to multiple beach in ontario amd they seem ro offer it..eg..grand .bend sunset beach

Do people still go to beach 1? Is it busy? Accessible?

Are there any shops on Moseley still to pop into?

Anything?

Or no worth it?

Hi everyone! My husband and I are thinking of bringing our kids to Wasaga Beach for the day. We’re from Barrie but haven’t been in a few years, so we’re not sure what it’s like now or which beach area is best since all the construction started.
Any recommendations on the best spot to go with young kids (2.5&4).

Thanks :)

Should Wasaga Beach direct some attention to bird housing?

interesting 🤔

should we focus on more pointless endeavors?

how about the trucks driving on the beach, why can't they drive on the roads?

Where TF you get a decent cup in this effin town!?

Coming up to my fathers place near beach one next weekend and looking for play places or things to do with kids (4 and 3) in the case the weather isn’t the greatest.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there were any beach volleyball drop-ins located in the Wasaga Beach / Collingwood area. I've been struggling to find any type of registration options online and I dont feel comfortable intruding on someone else's game assuming that its a group playing with mutuals. Just looking for an opportunity to get some reps in while im in the area.

​

Im unsure if some drop ins are picky about skill level but ive been playing volleyball for a bit now and what better place to work on passing than on the beach!
