City Council – Monday, May 2, 7pm

Updated: Jun 18

While this appears like a lot of items to cover, most of them were passed on consent last week, so are not likely to take much time again. There will be a presentation about extreme wind risk reduction measures for new builds in Barrie, plus recognition of the "I Love Barrie" contest winners, and the Silver Medal-Winning Barrie Sharks. (Go Sharks!!!)
