Why is this the best place to make a suggestion to the City?

The "Make a Suggestion" forum (established November, 2013) not only provides residents with an organized way of expressing, categorizing, and collaborating on suggestions for their City; it also provides City staff with the means to identify and measure ideas that are supported by the community and that may have an impact on the City's budget.

Since voting is limited, residents are encouraged to prioritize ideas they most support; therefore, those suggestions brought forward for review best reflect ideas supported by the community. Unlike other social media channels, the forum is sorted by topics; this helps objectively determine the popularity of ideas.

While this is considered the best place to make a suggestion, residents are always welcome to make suggestions to City staff via other channels available, including by phone, e-mail (cityinfo@barrie.ca), Facebook, Twitter, or in person.
