  • Grounded in Spirit – Tending the Roots of Peace
    WELCOME TO YEARLY MEETING SESSION! Dear Friends, It’s been a while since I was privileged to write the welcome to Canadian Yearly Meeting sessions – I think it may have been 2007! – but I’m back (as presiding Clerk), and so are the CYM sessions. I’m excited! To be with Quakers of all ages and stages of involvement from across the country for a whole week! Well, it just makes my summer. I hope I’ll see YOU there! We’ll be at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. Barrie is a medium-sized city (pop. over 145,000) with an interesting history, including being the terminus of one branch of the Underground Railroad. It’s on Kempenfelt Bay of Lake Simcoe and is within the Huronia Region of Central Ontario, not far from CYM’s Camp NeeKauNis. Young Friends are planning a retreat at Camp prior to the start of Yearly Meeting, and a trip for all of us to Camp is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. I know we will enjoy our time! It all starts on Friday, August 3rd, with a pre-CYM retreat, led by New Brunswick Monthly Meeting’s Ellen Helmuth. The theme is “Sharing Our Spiritual Journeys”, and it promises to be a time of connecting us in warm and wonderful ways. The retreat starts with supper on Friday and runs to supper on Saturday. Read further in this registration material to learn more about it. From Saturday supper onward is Yearly Meeting proper, with all its business and events, worship and play, conversation and action.

  • CITY of BARRIE TOURISM MASTER PLAN OCTOBER 2020 the Tourism Master Plan Was Researched and Conducted by FLOOR13 and Its Partners, KWL Advisory and GM Event Inc
    DEVELOPING TOURISM FOR BARRIE’S ECONOMIC FUTURE CITY OF BARRIE TOURISM MASTER PLAN OCTOBER 2020 The Tourism Master Plan was researched and conducted by FLOOR13 and its partners, KWL Advisory and GM Event Inc. It is the first of its kind for the City of Barrie and was realized through public and private sector industry stakeholders’ generous collaboration efforts. The Tourism Master Plan has been developed using best industry practice, stakeholder input and up-to-date research and data analysis. While this Plan takes a 10-year timeframe view of tourism development in Barrie, it nonetheless acts as a guide for shorter-term initiatives and actions to be realized by the City of Barrie and other related industry stakeholders. The Tourism Master Plan examines current tourism infrastructure in the Barrie area and provides a proposed investment needs analysis of potential tourism offerings that support the growth of visitor spending. A key focus on sport and conference assets is included in the Tourism Master Plan, highlighting two of Barrie’s future growth opportunities. Additionally, the study provides clarity on all available tourism funding that currently supports tourism organizations within Ontario. As Barrie’s visitor economy continues to grow, so will Barrie’s reputation as a progressive, lifestyle-orientated place to live – contributing broadly to the City’s economic development goals for talent and business attractions. This Tourism Master Plan, in summary, provides a roadmap for achieving the City of Barrie’s goals and its desired future state in relation to tourism. In the realization of this Plan, FLOOR13 and its partners would like to acknowledge the ongoing support and encouragement of the City of Barrie’s Invest Barrie team, Tourism Barrie, the Barrie Hotel Association, Simcoe County Tourism, RTO7 and members of the Barrie tourism industry.
