A small city of approximately 110,000 people on the shores of Lake Simcoe. Barrie is advertised as "The gateway to cottage country." Roughly an hours drive north of Toronto, and an hour south of the Muskokas, Barrie has access to the hustle and bustle of the big city and the calm of the country side.
Barrie is an up-and-coming tourist destination, with the Colts of the OHL, Georgian Downs hosting horse races year round, Sunset Speedway racing cars throughout the summer, Casino Rama less than an hour away, and the Lake to enjoy at anytime.
