Welcome in to another edition of What Barrie’s Talking About from Barrie 360, your weekly look at the stories shaping our community.
This week, we’re talking playoff momentum, mental health fundraising with a bit of flair, and a Barrie connection to one of Canada’s biggest sporting events.
Barrie Colts Extend Winning Streak
How about those Barrie Colts?
The team put together four wins last weekend, stretching their streak to 10 straight victories. They now sit comfortably atop the OHL Central Division as the playoffs draw closer.
Barrie 360’s Julius Hern breaks down what’s driving the success, how the team is positioning itself for the postseason, and what fans can expect as the regular season winds down. It’s a run that has the city buzzing and it couldn’t be coming at a better time.
The March Mullet (or Trim) Campaign Returns
The March Mullet or Trim campaign is back, bringing together fun and fundraising in support of mental health services in Simcoe County.
Participants grow it, trim it, or style it to spark conversation and raise funds, all for a serious cause. This year’s campaign supports a new beneficiary, expanding its impact in the region.
Organizers explain how the initiative works, why it continues to grow in popularity, and how residents can take part while supporting vital mental health resources.
Barrie’s Cory Heggestad Previews the Brier
The Canadian Men’s Curling Championship, better known as the Brier, begins this weekend and there’s a local connection to cheer for.
Barrie’s Cory Heggestad, serving as an alternate on the Team King entry, joins the show to preview the tournament. He talks about preparation, what it means to compete at that level, and what fans can expect as the country’s best curlers battle it out for national supremacy.
