Critical. - Update??

Any update on this issue?
Lots of voters are wondering why is this taking so long to be approved...

Please revisit this pilot project. Barrie residence deserve the ability to provide food for themselves

It's been well over 4 years since this suggestion was made. How much longer will this be under review for?

This has been an ongoing issue, get it together Barrie.
Backyard hens allow for sustainability in helping keep down bug and pest population, enrich soil vegetation and also give back eggs!! They are not only easy to care for, but help provide fun in learning and caring for animals for kids and families to enjoy.
I don't know why Barrie is so against this? Or they keep hesitating to move forward the motion to approve it???! Get with the times Barrie; what is the harm in having a little bit of country in your backyard? Its better than the sprawling student accommodations that have no problem getting approved.
Just say yes to backyard chickens!

Any new updates yet??? Does it really take a year for something to get on the council’s agenda? Would love to be able to have the chance to keep a few hens for fresh eggs.

This should be a pretty easy exercise? You an always make updates as it goes? Just limit it to 3-5 hens and no roosters.. with minim backyard size... ?

I will be extremely happy if we can keep a few hens in our backyard! Please, my children will be so excited to raise them and to collect fresh eggs without antibiotics!!!

Having backyard chickens in NO way compares to eating rotting animals in deplorable conditions. Wow my eyes hurt from that eye roll.

Lessons should be learned from our current pandemic humans living to close to animals in city environments is never a wise choice a farm is a farm and a city backyard is not !!

Can I please have backyard chickens? What a great addition to my growing vegetable garden. Plus chickens eat insect pests....which means less pesticide use.

Any progress? Hurry up please! This is obviously the right thing to do. Dont let short sightedness get in the way. We NEED to be more sustainable!

I don't have high hopes. Barrie is run by authoritarian fogies who want an iron fist on what their residents can or cannot do. I would not be surprised if Barrie is the last municipality to approve backyard hens.

Any progress on this

I've started to build my coop. Hurry up.

Has there been any progress on this yet. We would love to have some hens this summer!

Allow people to have a few backyard hens. It would give our youth further insight into how food is developed and grown, than in turn this will teach them about proper nutrition. Instead of eating processed foods that are no good for them.

We have a population that is overweight and has numerous health conditions, due to poor nutritional habits and lack of availability of nutritional foods during this time of Covid-19.

I vote to have Backyard flocks in residential zoned areas.( 3-5 hens) is manageable and sustainable for any family or single person.

This would be amazing if done properly with animal welfare laws taken largely into consideration at a minimum (as they are poor). This could also help end local warehouse style egg producers. A license to keep chickens should be a must, and it should come with a plethora of educational material including winterizing and insulating for Barrie temperatures, proper housing, cleanliness, overcrowding etc, to be approved before the license to own the animals is granted. Anything less would be irresponsible.

Did anyone catch what happened regarding this?

Please allow citizens to do what they can to provide a nutritious source of protein for their families in this sustainable, environmentaly friendly manner. There are so many positive effects of allowing people who have the space to keep a few hens. Along with gardening, these initiatives reduce stress on the supply chain, provide nutrition and allow people to do what they can in times of need. There is no better time than now to encourage this type of initiative!
