Choose Barrie

The City of Barrie is a vibrant, progressive, and growing community with deep connections to our heritage, to nature and to the opportunities surrounding us.

Our community values quality of life; the ability to play year-round with 300 hectares of park space, our beautiful waterfront, our lively downtown core and the nearby hills, wetlands, and forests.

We also value connections; to our neighbours and the community, to our road and rail network, and to the opportunity Barrie provides to enjoy life.

Everything Barrie has to offer, from the water we drink to the roads we travel on, has one thing in common - municipal workers.

Joining a municipality is one of the most rewarding, engaging, and exciting careers you could choose.

It is a career you can take pride in knowing that every day you make a positive impact on an entire community.

We are one team, with one goal and we all work together to continue making our community great.
