Youth & the Official Plan
Consultation has concluded
The City of Barrie is growing and we need your help to create a vision for our future. As Barrie’s youngest citizens, your ideas will help make Barrie a better place for you, your family and friends to live in for years to come.
What you tell us will help the City create a vision for future Barrie: how the buildings will look, how we will get around and where we will work, connect and play.

Map Your Barrie
To be able to drop a pin on the map, you will need to register and sign in. Your username will appear after any comments you make.
Please drop a pin on the area of the map to add a comment or photo. We would like you to share what you like about Barrie (landmarks, public spaces), where you see yourself in the future (job, home) and what you would like to see in Barrie:
- I like this landmark!
- I like this public space!
- Barrie could use...
- My future job is here
- My future home is here
A landmark is something easy to see that helps people know where they are. Drop a pin to identify landmarks in the city that you know and like. Include its name, tell us why you like it and, if you can, upload a picture so others can learn more about our city.
Every city needs welcoming public spaces for all residents to hand out in. Drop a pin to identify public spaces in Barrie that you know and like. Include its name, tell us why you like it and, if you can, upload a picture so others can learn more about our city.
Drop a pin to share what might be missing in Barrie (i.e. park, shopping, theatre). Tell us what is missing in the comment and, if possible, add a photo from another city so we can see what you mean.
Drop a pin to share where you see your future job in Barrie. Tell us what your future job is in the comments.
Drop a pin to share where you see your future home in Barrie. Tell us why you chose this area and, if possible, add a photo of what the building looks like.
