What Barrie's Talking About This Week
1) Winter’s Wake-Up Call: Are You Prepared for the Next Big Storm?
Last weekend’s massive storm left vehicles stranded for hours on Highway 11, caused widespread power outages across Muskoka—some lasting for days—and raised serious questions about our preparedness for winter weather. Were we ready? Will we be ready next time? On this episode, we revisit our conversation with Simcoe County’s Manager of Emergency Planning, Grant Durfey, who shares a winter preparedness checklist to help you stay ahead of the next big storm. If you missed it the first time, now’s the perfect moment to tune in and get winter-ready!

The Barrie Colts are riding high after another winning weekend, solidifying their lead in the OHL Central Division and coming within a single point of Kingston for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Adding to the excitement, a couple of Colts players are heading to the Team Canada trials. Barrie 360’s Will Konken breaks it all down with insights from Colts writer and broadcaster Gene Pereira.
