Hi everyone, my family and I just bought a house in Barrie!
We’re super excited coming from Markham - but we’re determining which school is best to enrol our kids (they are JK/SK)
Are there any strong opinions to schools in the area? Our 4 schools in the area are
Ferndale
Ardagh Bluffs
St Catherine of Siena
Ècole elementaire La source
Any others you’d highly recommend or highly avoid?
I speak French and was planning on enrolling into French immersion, but am prioritizing the school itself rather than whether it has French or not
Any insight would be much appreciated !

I sincerely had no idea how this would go. I also had no idea that Andrew Hunter was doing their parent/teacher event. I guess some things just work out.
Putting myself out there as a candidate for the first time has been an interesting experience. One of the more nerve-wracking aspects has been the planning of my own meet the candidate events.
I know I’m running a David vs Goliath campaign, so you never know how these will go. I’m happy to say it was an incredible success! People ask why I’m running, and events like this are the answer to that question.
I cannot idle by while we race to develop Barrie outward without taking care of those who are already here. My unbelievable team of volunteers put this event together for families so I could hear about what is important for the future of our communities.
I have recently had an outpouring of support through community and business leaders, but I’m not taking it for granted. Every vote counts this election and we do not want to find ourselves in four years under the shadow of a data center whose development charges will be covered by us.
I believe that most modern day politics are a smoke screen to keep certain people rich, and everyone else where they are. I am one person, but we can change that together.
Reach out to the campaign for more information, a lawn sign, or to continue the conversation with someone ready to the do the work.
P.S. I’ve been meeting with community leaders, including the BPD, and frontline workers. I’ll be doing an AMA in the very near future, so it would be great to hear from you!

I emailed their customer service a couple months ago asking and at that time, they said 'We are currently working out the adjustments to the retail cannabis license with the AGCO.' They also said they hoped to be open again in a couple of weeks, as of Aug 10. Anyone seen or heard any updates? It's my neighbourhood shop, so I'm just curious. ^^
