The City of Barrie has joined the Orillia 2020 Ontario Winter Games as a municipal partner and has agreed to contribute $20,000 to the Games, which will feature 3,500 participants 12-18 years of age, competing in 27 different sports.
“We are excited to have the City of Barrie join the Orillia 2020 Ontario Winter Games as a Municipal Sponsor,” said Jed Levene, the Chair of the Games Organizing Committee. “Barrie has some of the top athletic facilities in the province, and a variety of attractions that will make for an incredible experience for participants and their families.”
