Barrie is an idyllic Southern Ontario city with lots to do throughout the year. From a beautiful, recently restored waterfront to ski resorts such as Horse Shoe Valley to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and other winter activities. Barrie is home to many parks and nature trails, with lots to do and explore outdoors. The downtown area is filled with restaurants, boutiques and shops as well as a wonderful farmer’s market in warmer months. Areas outside of the city centre have increased their development in recent years allowing for big box retailers, large movie theatres and a well equipped shopping mall to offer more variety for residents.

Barrie is a vibrant community with lots of rich heritage and no shortage of things to do. There are wonderful family communities with great schools, Georgian College campus conveniently located just off the highway and a large modern hospital all within reasonable distance of the various Barrie neighbourhoods. Development in south Barrie has grown exponentially over the last 10 years, with new Go Transit lines available for commuters and students.
There is no shortage of entertainment available to take advantage of in Barrie, from world class sports and event arenas, large outdoor plazas, Georgian mall and more. The downtown core is vibrant, with micro breweries, restaurants and shops lining the streets. There are frequent events hosted in the town square, lovely gardens in the summer and a skating rink in the winter. The waterfront along Barrie’s downtown is beautiful, and is home to many street festivals in the summer.
No matter what you are looking for, there is something in Barrie for everyone. Whether you are a young family, a couple looking to retire, or just looking for a change of pace, Barrie is a great place to call home.
