Simcoe County Warden Weighs In on Barrie’s Annexation Plans

The debate over Barrie’s proposed annexation of portions of Springwater and Oro-Medonte continues and this week, Simcoe County Warden Basil Clarke joins Barrie 360’s Ian MacLennan to share his take.

Clarke isn’t thrilled about the idea, warning that the townships and the county could use those same lands for their own future growth. With public meetings and council votes now happening in both townships, this conversation has real implications for the region’s next decade.

Find out what the Warden had to say about how this could affect residents across Simcoe County.
