About Town Halls
Town Halls provide opportunities for residents to meet with their Mayor, Councillor and neighbours to discuss City- and ward-specific issues in an open forum. Residents are invited to:

  • ask questions and/or voice concerns.
  • engage with neighbours.
  • hear from City staff and stakeholders.
  • provide feedback regarding City projects and initiatives.

Formally initiated in 2011 and regularly occurring for each ward, the meetings encourage participation in municipal government and City matters, foster community involvement, and help make Barrie’s neighbourhoods stronger.
