39Whitney Smith needs to get her facts straight before causing grief for Lighthouse. Not a good look for a Mayor candidate.

36I find it very disturbing Smith has made this a political move for her mayor campaign. Not to mention she is apparently spreading incorrect information. This is a horrible tragedy and doing thoughts and prayers and doing that video to help her mayor race is shameful.

6I find it disturbing that people attack Ms Smith because she for advocating for more law and order.

35I think it is making unverified claims for obvious political reasons( before you evoke me thumbs down, check out her exploitive video with her prominent "mayoral" label on it) that is the issue. Making up things for her own gain in the middle of a tragedy...

31Totally irresponsible comment from someone that wants to be Mayor. Took an opportunity to slam Lighthouse based on assumptions that residents would support her cause. After being called out she cant even take responsibility and apologize , instead uses typical political deflection. Lighthouse supports many difficult residents, its extremely disturbing to see this candidates lack of empathy, compassion and future non support if elected. Whitney would get more support is she has real options and solutions.

Scout Valley murder victim was 'wonderful guy' who put family first
28Well stated, and don't forget the plethora of well meaning but misguided organizations and their supporters that believe these types of people should be free without any supervision or involuntary treatment/care. This is not the first such incident and it will not be the last.

29I feel so sad for this man’s family but I also feel a profound disgust for our legal system & the judge(s) who granted bail to the attacker in the first place. Our system needs to keep repeat offenders behind bars-even if they are suffering “mental health issues”

10Orillia has twice the rate of homeless people per capital compared to Barrie. I have talked to at least. half a dozen who came to Orilla from other places. The Lighthouse is a wonderful facility that attracts people to it. My guess is that the suspected killer was attracted to The Lighthouse but never made it inside formally due to a variety of reasons.

23What Smith said was more than inappropriate. It was a direct attack on the Lighthouse, those who work there, and the people who so badly need the service. If Ms. Smith is suggesting all Lighthouse users are criminals, she needs to learn a lot more before even hoping to become mayor. Has she not listened to Lighthouse presentations to council over the years? Or she doesn't care.

Council to see new Official Plan, hear about new hospital Monday
22Councillor Smith has been the Council Liasion to the Hospital Community Engagement Committee for the past 3 years and has only attended 2 meetings. Many of her questions could have been answered.

20"Former" Mayor candidate. And to think, for someone who owns a private investigation agency, she didn't think about it too well.

21@Curious 1 - Just take your L. You have no evidence to support your claim, where you are just trying to stick up for Smith. You aren't moderated, you are clearly a burner account of someone interested in propping up her mayoral campaign.

3Councillor Smith. Obviously there are dated people who know others in places to track your attendance as they attempt undermine your future. Stay strong as jealousy never wins.

15Smith said she has learned that Alamina came to Orillia for its social services at The Lighthouse but ended up living at Scout's Valley.

Student’s 'fishing lunches' halted after school raises safety issue
20I think the blame lies with a society only to quick to sue. However, if the parent gives written permission for their child to go fishing at lunch time wouldn’t that absolve the school of blame? To be honest, I see a lot of intermediate aged students walking for lunch around Fittons and West and that’s likely as dangerous as fishing at lunch time.
