What Barrie's Talking About This Week
1) A Snag For Supervised Consumption
It wasn't that long ago that mental health advocates around Barrie were hopeful to see a supervised consumption site open to help people in the community. A site was chosen, applications were submitted, and some approvals were given. But then it became a waiting game, which went on too long for the Simcoe County branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Which has withdrawn its application
CEO Dr. Valerie Grdisa chatted with our Ian MacLennan about what lead to the decision...
2) Butterflies In The Sky
We Unite has been doing a lot for the community for some time now. And there is a special event returning this year, the second annual Butterfly Release is coming to Oro-Medonte.
Dan Blakeley sits with Kira Kenny and Cameron Christie from We Unite to chat about that event and all the other good work they are doing around the community...
3) Jules Is Dead
A local artist by the name of Jules Is Dead has been taking the music scene by storm, mainly because of their age, coming in at just 18 years old
Dan Blakeley got a chance to chat with them about an upcoming show and what sets the group apart...
4) Sober Sips
The demand for non-alcoholic or lower-alcoholic beer has been growing at a rapid pace in the community. You can tell by the amount of action Sober Sips has been getting on their website. That interest has led to a physical location in downtown Barrie.
