Get Involved
Planning is a public process. Because planning decisions shape the places where we live, work, and play, it is vitally important that community members have the opportunity to express their views and values.
The City welcomes and encourages comments from individuals and from organizations regarding planning initiatives and specific
development applications. There are several ways for you can participate in the planning and development process:
|

buildingbarrie.ca to find public engagement and information sessions that might interest you.
