Discussion Papers: identifying and discussing issues facing Barrie

The discussion papers below are centred around seven themes that were prevalent in the feedback we received in Phase 1 of the OP project. These discussion papers incorporate your feedback, research into Barrie's current situation and best practices around the world, to explore different solutions and ideas on how to address issues that affect Barrie.

The policy options and directions presented in these papers will help pin-point our vision to making Barrie a liveable, healthy, accessible and thriving city. They are a starting point for generating discussion about general policy issues in this phase of the Official Plan Project.
