  1. Create an off-leash dog part in the unused portion of Holly park

    South West Barrie does not have a dog park, and with the growing traffic, getting to the other dog parks takes 10-15 minutes. There is a portion of the Holly park that is currently green space and is almost always unused which would make a great spot for neighbourhood dog owners to congregate. Additionally, it would reduce the use of neighbourhood schools as off leash areas, reducing the chance of dog related incidents and possible messes. See the attached screenshot for location

  2. Open a fenced, off-leash dog park in downtown Barrie

    I saw the previous suggestion from 4 years ago regarding a waterfront dog park. I wanted to renew the subject with a new post. My suggestion is a dog park in the downtown area. Doesn’t necessarily need to be a beach, just a fenced area that is safe for both our dogs and the people passing by. Maybe a part of the Sam Cancilla Park? That, I would of course leave up to the city planners.

  3. Transit On Demand Improvements

    I have a few questions, comments, suggestions, and even an anecdote about one of my most recent bus ride that I wanted to share. And for simplicity sake I thought it would be easiest if I simply provide a list of my questions and suggestions regarding the transit on demand program or atleast regarding my experiences with it to this point. 

    Regular schedule with small buses is more efficient 

    Giving names to book and board the bus has almost turned the bus into a vip club and the poor driver into a doorman that won't let you and your registered…

  4. Create more public saunas

    I think we need to have more public saunas at our community centres. The only available public sauna outside of the large chain gyms (which would require a regular priced monthly membership to access), is at Allandale Rec Centre. There is much emerging scientific research demonstrating that 20 min in a sauna at least 4x/week has significant positive impact on cardiovascular health as it mimics moderate aerobic exercise. It also reduces anxiety and has brain benefits as well. So, for folks who are not as active as they’d like to be or perhaps have a disability or injury such that…
