Who we are. What we do. Our mission.

LOVE BARRIE heart
At LOVE BARRIE, our mission is simple: to raise funds that help bring people together through vibrant community events.

We believe that fostering a spirit of togetherness, positivity, and fun builds stronger connections within Barrie and Simcoe County.

Our events encourage a healthy balance of body and mind through cultural experiences, recreational activities, and moments of joy. By promoting wellness, inclusivity, and shared experiences, we aim to strengthen the bonds within our community.

We love Barrie – and we love our neighbors, too! Our initiative extends to communities that touch our borders, including Innisfil, Oro-Medonte, Springwater, Essa, and beyond, uniting people across Simcoe County.

  • LOVE BARRIE is made possible thanks to the generosity of our Local Businesses and Residents, and City Councillors that have come together to fund this vision. Together, we’re determined to make Barrie the healthiest city in Canada, celebrating a culture of wellness, active living, and community spirit.
