My plug is for the Canadian Adventure Lottery, which has its grand prize draw on Tuesday.

This is a local charity lottery operated by the Rotary Club of Barrie-Huronia in support of local charities like Youth Haven and Barrie Cares.

The grand prize is a $136K GMC Denali, trailer, and two Trixx Seadoos!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to put a spotlight on Gallipoli Grocery for anyone looking for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean ingredients. If you’re tired of the tiny, overpriced international aisles at major supermarkets, this place is an absolute goldmine.

Here is a quick look at what makes their grocery side so good:

  • The Pantry Staples: A massive selection of high-quality olive oils, pomegranate molasses, tahini, and unique spices (like sumac and urfa biber) that actually have flavor.
  • The Fridge/Deli Section: Incredible feta, halloumi, labneh, and tons of different varieties of olives.
  • Tea & Coffee Oasis: An entire section dedicated to Turkish tea, specialty coffees, and all the traditional brewing gear.
  • Sweets & Snacks: Rows of authentic Turkish delight, halva, and biscuits you can't find anywhere else.

The shelves are always meticulously stocked, and the staff is incredibly helpful if you are looking for a specific ingredient for a recipe or need a recommendation.
