The City of Barrie continues to be one of Canada's fastest growing and dynamic cities. Its proximity to the GTA allows for easy commuting while still offering scenic wilderness and recreational activities right outside your door. Barrie manages to achieve a critical balance; with ample parkland, a beautiful waterfront and heritage downtown, it maintains a community-minded 'small-town feeling, yet at the same time continues to grow and prosper with all of today's modern conveniences. With these benefits, Barrie is not only a wonderful place to vacation, but an ideal spot to call home. 



Barrie is a desirable place to live in. Beaches, hiking trails, cycling paths, fishing, boating, skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are all around you.
