This Week on What Barrie's Talking About
1. International Women's Day Is March 8
We're making some headway toward gender equality but there's still a disparity. Teresa MacLennan from the Women And Children's Shelter in Barrie talks about the work we need to continue doing so we can truly say we have achieved equality and the organization's upcoming event in celebration of women.
2. Wilcox Is Heading To The Ranch
David Wilcox is heading to The Ranch 2.0. Rock 95's Ben McCully connected with Wilcox to chat about his career, the guy he credits for getting him where he is today, and how he feels about being called a legend or an icon.
3. Farmers' Market Not Happy
Every Saturday since 1846, the Farmers' Market has been set up inside the city hall or in the square and street outside. More recently, there's been talk of moving it to the downtown transit terminal. Most think it's a great idea but the Market's Jaine Grant doesn't agree. Ian MacLennan sits down to talk it out.
4. Alex Nuttall Talks 1st 100 Days
Alex Nuttall's first 100 days as Mayor of Barrie have been busy. Much of this time was spent making budget decisions and coming up with a plan for the next four years. Ian MacLennan had a chance to sit down with Nuttall and talk a bit more about these projects and why we'll be seeing an increase despite what many remember as being a zero-increase pledge.
We’re so glad you joined us for the latest episode of What Barrie’s Talking About.
