As Central Ontario’s premier waterfront City, Barrie is committed to providing residents with opportunities to enjoy an enhanced and secure quality of life in a prosperous and ecologically sustainable community.
A healthy city needs a strong green infrastructure. More than 75% of the land in Barrie is privately owned; property owners play a vital role in sustaining Barrie's urban forest.
Beautification
The City works to facilitate and support programs and events that beautify Barrie's parks, public spaces, and neighbourhoods.
Conservation & Sustainability
The City works to align functions with environmental conservation and protection, and encourages residents to consider taking efforts towards environmental conservation.
