#PictureBarrie Waste Collection Calendar Selections
Images submitted by residents to the #PictureBarrie photo gallery were selected for the 2025 Waste Collection Calendar. This exhibition puts the spotlight on local photographers who shared their beautiful Barrie captures.
The #PictureBarrie photo gallery was started in 2018 as a place for residents to share photos showing themselves, their friends and family, having fun and being active in the community.
The gallery has evolved to include stunning images of the wide variety of birds, animals and scenes of nature we are fortunate to enjoy in our city.
Share your seasonal snapshots to our #PictureBarrie gallery at barrie.ca/PictureBarrie for the chance to be featured in City marketing and communications materials.
These photos were selected for the 2025 Waste Collection Calendar from #PictureBarrie submissions. They depict the city’s beauty year-round, from a frosty winter hiking trail, to a sail or paddle board on a hot summer night.
The 2025 Waste Collection Calendar can be viewed at barrie.ca/calendar.
