The Strategy will be presented to General Committee on Monday June 14th 2010 for
Council’s consideration! Everyone is welcome to attend and show your support for
the Historic Neighbourhoods Strategy.
Thank you to everyone who gave their time and offered their thoughts at our Neighbourhood
Meetings and Workshops and for those who took the time to fill in our Neighbourhoods
Surveys. The
Workshop Notes and the Survey Results
are now available.
We have now also completed an update to Council and invite you to take a look at
the presentation. We are now moving toward drafting the Strategy and we expect to
have a Draft to release for comments and feedback this Spring.
The
Background Report from the first phase remains available. Check it out for

Together we can develop a great strategy for your historic neighbourhoods, those
in the heart of the City!
Thank you for visiting us and we look forward to your involvement.

The Community Process
The Historic Neighbourhoods Strategy is a community-driven process. A Community
Committee has been organized with representation from each participating neighbourhood
in order to guide the project. Committee Members will ensure representatives from
all neighbourhoods are included in every meeting.
Some members were part of the initial Working Group that assisted in creating the
work program for this initiative during the summer of 2008. Others, upon hearing
about the Strategy, have joined the Committee more recently.
The Committee is supported by full-time City staff and interested City Councillors
as well as a communications and outreach consultant.
All residents are encouraged to Get Involved in the
Strategy process. Opportunities to participate will include surveys, events, forums,
open houses and much more. A newsletter will be emailed and posted on the project
website to keep residents informed, enabling them to get connected and get involved.
Your Community Committee Members
If you would like to contact a member of the Community Committee, please send them
an email at: hnscommunitycommittee@barrie.ca
The Community Committee members are residents of the Historic Neighbourhoods. In
fact, several representatives from each neighbourhood serve on the Community Committee
to build the Historic Neighbourhoods Strategy from the ground-up. Staff support
for the Committee members is provided through Stacey Forfar, the Committee’s full-time
City Project Planner and key contact and Lynn Morrow, the Committee’s Communication
and Outreach Consultant. The Committee will be chaired by Ward 2 Councillor, Jeff
Lehman.
