Residents can register for City of Barrie spring recreation and culture programming and summer camps starting Tuesday, February 27. Currently, customers can browse programs and save them to their “Wish List” to conveniently find desired programs when registration opens.
“The City of Barrie’s Recreation and Culture team is excited to help residents shake off the winter blues with a lineup of programs that will help put the spring back into their steps,” says Kate Ellis, manager of recreation and culture programs. “We’re also anticipating another busy summer camp season. The City of Barrie’s camps are extremely popular because they deliver a rewarding, memorable, safe and fun summer experience that we know kids and youth in Barrie look forward to.”
