What Puts Barrie on the Map?

Barrie is centrally located: Cottage country to the north and the City of Toronto to the south. With the friendliness and beauty of a small town, the amenities of a large city and a growing population of 140 000, Barrie has the rare advantage of enjoying the best of both worlds. Barrie's central location in close proximity to the Greater Toronto Region puts more than 8.4 million people, representing one quarter of Canada's population, within a 100-mile radius of Barrie.
