Re-elect Rod Jackson, Barrie Ward 3
A Message from Rod
Never before has the time been better work together to shape where our city should be headed. You can help me continue to create jobs, manage taxes and make our streets safer by managing our city better!
Working together with you to get results and build a better community we will:
•Make safer streets by engaging citizens to be more active using successful models of community building from around the world.
•Bring better paying jobs to our city by helping our current professional sectors grow. Right now in Barrie 75% of our population is employed by small business...much of that is NON -retail. Lets help them grow!
•Responsible growth is important. The next ten years in Barrie's development will be critical. It is essential our growth is controlled to avoid mistakes of the past.
I won't stop following through, thats my commitment to you
Your Neighbour,
Rodney Jackson

Jeffrey Waye - Green Vote - Ward 7
My name is Jeffrey Waye and I am running for election for Ward 7.
The singular, most troubling issue that I have is our government’s lack of commitment to the environment. I find it unacceptable that we mismanage our green spaces. Arguably, our city planning department follows a policy of “obedience” to industry. For too long there has been a generalized disregard! Just look at our language: we talk about “empty land” – which we know is far from empty and in fact teem with non-human life.
I have great concern for the future of our fields, forests, marshes and farmlands. All of these are threatened in Barrie’s plan for growth. But, we don’t have to continue down this road. We need larger vision and we need leaders with enough backbone to say “NO” to developers and to the short-term interests that threaten the balance of nature. It is a cost that we do not have the right to impose upon our children!
As Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” What will the future of Barrie be like 20 years from now if we do not act? As counsellor I will be a voice for long-term sustainability. I will resist destructive developments.
If you are concerned for our fragile environment, I urge you to vote for Jeffrey Waye, Ward 7.
