| Description | I am running for Councillor of Ward 5, because the City needs renewed prosperity and passion. As a homeowner, husband, and lifelong resident of our community, I understand what really makes up Barrie, its people. My promise to you, both as Councillor and neighbour, is to promote your ideas and opinions, while keeping your best interests in mind. Between work and family activities I know it is difficult for most of us to attend Council Meetings, and stay up to date with City changes; with your support that will be my responsibility. Together during the week of October 18th-25th, 2010, let’s Bring Ward 5 Alive! Vote for prosperity, vote for passion. Running for the future of our families, ~James Palmer |

Paolo Fabrizio for Barrie City Council Ward 9, 2010
I believe that your taxes should be spent on needed repairs that you and your neighbours need, first, and theatres, second. I want to do what you say, for what you need, and not some well-organized, special interest group wants. Do you agree with me? Then be sure to give me your support on October 25. You may as well participate, as you already paid for this election! -
Bonnie Ainsworth, Ward 1
Although I decided not to throw my hat in the ring in 2003, many of you may remember I had the privilege to serve as your Council representative for two three year terms from 1997 to 2003. Here I am seven years later asking you to send me back on October 25th. -
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. -
