It is our collective responsibility to ensure that Barrie taxpayers receive effective and efficient policing at a competitive cost. Within these parameters, the Barrie Police Service compares very favourably with any police service in Ontario. In addition to meeting its policing responsibilities, the Barrie Police Service had a presence at virtually every major community event in Barrie during 2007. In helping us to meet our continuing challenges we welcomed Mr. Doug JURE to the Board in January 2007 replacing Jerry Moore the departing Mr. Stan CHOPTIANY. Vice-Chair Barrie Police Service Board Members Chair Mayor Dave Aspden Vice-Chair Councillor Jerry Moore Member Douglas Jure Member Richard Jones Member Barbara Sinton Secretary Sherry Taylor 2007 Annual Report MESSAGE FROM THE 3 CHIEF OF THE POLICE The core function of any police service is to respond to calls for service. In 2007 the Barrie Police Service responded to 50,809 such calls, dealing with everything from noisy parties to murder, and representing an increase of 4.4% over 2006. To put our workload into perspective, the Barrie Police Service, on a per officer basis, handles more calls for service than the police services of Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. The Barrie Police Service also manages this workload at a significantly lower per capita cost ($206) than Toronto ($320), Montreal ($260) or Vancouver ($322). With these numbers in mind it should come as no surprise that the consulting firm of Wayne C. Frechette Blackstone Partners, following their extensive review of the organization, concluded in Chief of Police November 2006 “that the Barrie Police Service is providing exceptional value with respect to the services they provide to the citizens of the City of Barrie”. This “exceptional value” does not come about through happenstance but rather through the efforts of a group of public servants who dedicate themselves every day and night to making Barrie your community of choice. That group is comprised of the men and women of the Barrie Police Service, both sworn and civilian and it is my privilege to present the 2007 Annual Report to you on their behalf.

Based on an estimated 4.2% growth rate per year, the population for Barrie in 2007 is estimated at 133,824*. With a complement of 280 sworn and full time civilian members the dedicated men and women of the Barrie Police Service continue to provide quality service to our growing PATROL ZONES community; including the many amenities that the City of Barrie has to offer.

Today is a day worthy of celebration, even as, in common with citizens around the globe, we continue to face a crisis virtually unknown to living generations. The world has been turned on its head. My first thoughts are with those who have succumbed to COVID-19, and their families. The stories of the last few months tell of hardship and inequality. They have exposed weaknesses in the economic and social systems upon which we rely, and have confirmed our interdependence with those beyond our neighbourhoods and our country. We grieve collectively. But in equal measure, we are witnessing empathy, collaboration, creativity, and courage. Deserving of special gratitude are the many frontline workers who are bravely leading us through this crisis, and also the millions of people across Ontario, especially seniors, who are, at great personal cost, doing the right thing and staying home to prevent the spread of the virus.

  • 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.
