2021 Budget

Like many other municipalities, the City of Barrie is facing significant financial impacts due to the pandemic.

Each year, staff work to balance the cost of providing City services with existing resources. 2021 will be more challenging than usual given the significant financial impacts the City is facing through the wake of COVID-19. During the 2021 budgeting cycle, staff and Council will continue to look for more ways to find efficiencies through innovation to make tax dollars go farther.

Budget Engagement

Throughout the 2021 Budget engagement period (Nov.12 – Dec. 18, 2020), taxpayers shared what's important to them through the Budget Allocator tool. Results and comments submitted via the tool are shared with Council during the 2021 Business Plan & Budget deliberations. View the Budget Allocator Results.
