About the city of Barrie, On
General Information
about the City of Barrie Located in the midst of Ontario recreational heartland, and less that one-hour’s drive from Toronto, Barrie has the best of what Central Ontario has to offer. Convenient access to Highways 401 and 407 are provided by the 400 and, highways 90, 27 and 11 provide alternate access routes to the rest of Ontario. Our local airport, Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, offers customs and cargo handling capability. The GO Train service from Toronto to Barrie is expected to be ready in 2007. Work will start on refurbishing the Bradford GO Station building, providing extra shelter and improving passenger service. The extension of the Go train may have an important impact in the prices and demand of properties in the area. Barrie is a vibrant and attractive city with swimmable beaches and challenging ski opportunities on our doorstep. An abundance of parks line beautiful Kempenfelt Bay with extensive biking, roller blading and walking trails.
