About Barrie
Centennial Beach |
Kempenfelt Bay |
Downtown Barrie |
|
Barrie's beginnings can be traced back to First Nations People
using the western shores of Kempenfelt Bay as a place of rest
before traveling the portage that ran between Lake Simcoe and
the Nottawasaga River to Lake Huron. The War of 1812 resulted
in increased use allowing for British troops and supplies to
bypass the American forces at Detroit. At the war's end,
settlers arrived and took up residence at the end of the
portage, beginning the traces of Barrie's first community.
The British military presence is reflected in many street
names, and even in the name of the city itself, in honour of a
British Admiral - Sir Robert Barrie Commodore.
As
our city grew, it began to export local resources. Trees
nearly two hundred feet tall were logged and shipped out,
serving as masts for British ships, and railway ties. In the
winter months, huge blocks of ice were cut from the frozen
waters of Kempenfelt Bay and shipped down to Toronto, Buffalo
and New York for refrigeration purposes. Three large storage
houses enabled the blocks to be effectively stored for
shipment during the summer months.
In 1853, the hamlet of Barrie separated from Vespra Township
and sent its own representative to County Council. Jonathan
Lane was the first Reeve of Barrie. Barrie was officially
incorporated as a Town in 1871. The first mayor of the Town
of Barrie was Robert Simpson.
Between the late 1800s and the early twentieth century, Barrie
underwent a number of changes that contributed to its rapid
growth. The long-anticipated railway connection in 1865
joined Barrie to the City of York, its resources and
industry. But it was the building of Highway 400 in 1950,
providing tourists easy access and exposure to our Beautiful
City by the Bay that made Barrie a favorite tourist
destination in Central Ontario for recreation enthusiasts from
across Ontario and around the world.
On January 1, 1959, Barrie was incorporated as a City and at
that time Barrie was the only city in Simcoe County. The
first mayor of the City of Barrie was Willard L. Kinzie.
The City
of Barrie serves as the County of Simcoe's principal urban
area in terms of population, employment and the delivery of
services. Barrie has developed its role as a strong regional
urban growth centre within the provincial settlement pattern.
The City is the location of many private and public sector
institutions and facilities serving a market that extends well
beyond the current boundaries of Simcoe County. The City
contains sufficient designated lands within its present
municipal boundaries to accommodate a planned population of
175,000. Infrastructure improvements are also planned to
facilitate the achievement of this population |

A little about us!
I have been a REALTOR® since 1997 and I love what I do,
I have lived in and around the Barrie area for 32 years
and have seen the city grow from 30,000 to 150,00 so
many changes have taken place and it has been great to
be part of those changes. Elmer came into my life 6
years ago, and in September of 2010 also joined me as my
business partner.
Over the years I have worked with a number of buyers
and sellers, helping them to market their home and
educating them on the selling or buying process. So much
as changed during this time period and I am constantly
upgrading my skills, especially in the technology area.
I
also believing in giving back to my profession and have
been a volunteer on the Barrie & District Association of
REALTORS® since 2001, serving as chair of our MLS®
Technology, Finance & Executive Committees. I served as
President in 2006 and again in 2009, and am currently
the 2010 Past President. This has been a truly
wonderful experience, the amount of understanding you
gain for the market and what is happening across Canada
is second to none. You get the opportunity to listen to
amazing speakers, eg. Jean Chretien, former Provincial
Premiers, some on the top economic forecasters and
more.
Although the internet has become a large part of our
business,
I strongly believe that Real Estate is still a people
business ...

This Site is dedicated to the
Memory of
Brandyn Miller |
 |
To
all the people that use this Neighbourhood Web Site.
Your site was developed by Brandyn Miller while he was awaiting a
Heart/Lung Transplant. He created this and
other neighbourhood sites as a start to a business and a
thought to his future once he received those long
awaited organs.
On
May 16th ,2005 we got the call that they had
his new organs available. He went into his surgery with a
happy grin and total belief that he would wake up with a
new future. He fought long and hard to stay with us.
Tuesday May 17th 2005 he lost that fight.
Thank you all for making his project successful and giving
him such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and
community involvement.
PLEASE continue to help make this site grow, in honor of
Brandyn,
It will continue where he could not. |
