We're Updating our Culture Plan
Culture can be thought of as the beliefs attitudes, customs and practices of a people and place. For Barrie, culture is a celebration of its people's experience, heritage, human creativity, imagination and originality. It is found in the arts, media, crafts, heritage, urban design, business, and in our relationship to our landscape and creative endeavours in all economic sectors.
