To help Barrie residents make their decisions for the Municipal Election, Engage Barrie Organization will be hosting all-candidates meetings for Mayor and all Ward Councillors.
​
With CARP Barrie, we are co-hosting the Mayoral Candidates Forum the afternoon of
Saturday, October 1 at the Salvation Army Citadel.
​
We will also be hosting All-Candidates Meetings for each ward via Zoom,
the evenings of October 2-13 (see below for scheduling!)
​
If you are unsure of which Ward you live in, and/or which candidates you will be choosing from (councillor and school trustee),
we've created some one-sheets for you here.
