'''Barrie''' is a city of 128,430 residents,<ref name="2006CensCommun" /> the 35th largest municipality in [[Canada]].<ref name="2006CensMuniPops" /> It is located on [[Kempenfelt Bay]], an arm of [[Lake Simcoe]] in [[Central Ontario]], [[Canada]].
Although geographically a part of [[Simcoe County]], the municipality is politically separate.
The city's north and south ends are separated by a deep valley which contains the downtown area along Kempenfelt Bay.
At the north end of Barrie is the [[Highway 11 (Ontario)|Highway 11]] and [[Highway 400 (Ontario)|Highway 400]] interchange. Many consider this the gateway to northern Ontario resort destinations (referred to as [[cottage country]]).
Barrie is also home to the [[MacLaren Art Centre]], an innovative art gallery that supports the visual arts in Simcoe County. It inspired the "Art City" project, which has had many different large sculptures installed around the city. These can be found in parks and along the scenic waterfront.
==History==
Barrie at its inception was a small group of houses and warehouses at the foot of the Nine Mile Portage from Kempenfeldt Bay to Fort Willow. The city was named in 1833 after Sir [[Robert Barrie]], who was in charge of the naval forces in Canada and frequently had to portage from Lake Simcoe to [[Georgian Bay]] through the city. [[The Underground Railroad]] in the mid 1800s allowed many American slaves to enter Barrie. This contributed to the development (and the name) of nearby [[Shanty Bay, Ontario|Shanty Bay]].
During [[World War II]] the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] named a [[Flower class corvette]] [[HMCS Barrie]].
On [[27 September]] [[1977]], in dense fog, a small plane hit the 68 meter tall [[CKVR-TV#Transmitters|CKVR Television Tower]], knocking CHAY FM and [[CKVR]]-TV off the air. All on the aircraft were killed, and the tower was destroyed. A new 304 metre tower was erected and operational within a year.
On [[31 May]], [[1985]], an [[Fujita scale|F4]] [[tornado]] struck Barrie, during the [[The "Barrie" Tornado Outbreak of 1985]].
On [[12 June]] - [[13 June]] [[1987]], a sculpture called ''[[Spirit Catcher]]'' by [[Ron Baird]] was moved to Barrie from [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], where it had been exhibited as part of [[Expo '86]]. The sculpture was erected permanently at the foot of Maple Avenue on the shore of Kempenfelt Bay.
In January 2004, Barrie made international news when its city police raided the former [[Molson]] [[brewery]], and found Canada's largest illegal [[cannabis]] grow operation.
Barrie's [[Park Place (Ontario)|Park Place]] (formerly Molson Park) was chosen to host [[live8|Live 8]] Canada on [[2 July]], [[2005]].<ref>[http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1119352066774_150 CTV.ca | Barrie, Ont. to host Canadian edition of Live 8<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The success of the concert contributed to the resistance to a plan to convert the concert area to a commercial district. However, the stage, buildings and many of the trees on site have been destroyed since construction of the Park Place commercial district has begun.
An explosion in the Royal Thai restaurant, housed in the landmark Wellington Hotel, at the historic Five Points intersection in Barrie's downtown core occurred at 11:20 PM on [[6 December]], [[2007]]. The fire quickly spread to several neighbouring buildings. Firefighters battled the blaze well into the following morning, requiring assistance from other Simcoe County fire services. Officials estimate the damages to be in the millions. The Wellington Hotel building collapsed. It was over one hundred years old. <ref name="canada.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.canada.com/topics/news/national/story.html?id=4f3ddae9-5044-4f4d-a4fb-7adee1d63299&k=71332 |title=Massive blaze destroys six buildings in Barrie

==Geography==
[[Image:Barrie in relation to Southern Ontario.png|thumb|left|Barrie is situated in [[Central Ontario]], [[Canada]].]]
[[Image:Barrie in relation to North America.png|right|thumb|Barrie in relation to other North American cities]]
Barrie is located in Central Ontario and is accessible via Highways [[Highway 90 (Ontario)|90]], [[Highway 400 (Ontario)|400]], [[Highway 27 (Ontario)|27]], [[Highway 11 (Ontario)|11]] and has convenient access to [[Highway 407 (Ontario)|Highway 401]], the [[Highway 407 (Ontario)|Highway 407 Express Toll Route]] and to neighbouring Toronto. [[Pearson International Airport]] in Toronto is a one hour drive from Barrie via [[Highway 400 (Ontario)|Highway 400]], a six lane highway that runs directly through Barrie.
===Topography===
Barrie's downtown is situated in a valley, surrounding the western edge of Kempenfelt Bay. Terrain is generally flat near the city's centre. Moving away from the downtown and up the valleys, the terrain can be rather steep in areas. Over the last few decades, the city has expanded its urban area beyond the confines of the valley, particularly to the south.
The city does not have any major rivers within its limits, but does have numerous creeks and streams, most of which empty into Kempenfelt Bay.
===Climate===
[[Image:Barrie Condos and Houses in Winter.jpg|thumb|left|Residential condominiums and houses in Barrie after a heavy snowfall.]]
Barrie has warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. The proximity to the Great Lakes does moderate temperatures somewhat. Barrie is located in Ontario's snow belt region, where lake-effect snow falls throughout the winter. An average of 238 centimetres (95 inches) of snow falls annually. As a result, there are numerous winter recreation activities and facilities in the surrounding area, including skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding resorts, snowmobile trails and ice fishing. The Barrie area is well known for heavy thunderstorm activity in late spring and summer and more occasionaly, funnel clouds and tornados.
Economy==
There are several manufacturers located in Barrie and [[CFB Borden|Canadian Forces Base Borden]] is nearby. The perception of Barrie is that it is a [[bedroom community]] for people who [[commute]] to [[Toronto]], which is approximately 100km south of Barrie, or (more often) to the northern suburbs of Toronto in [[York Region]]. However, only 32% of the resident-employed labour force (17,040 persons/53,400 persons) actually commute out of Barrie for employment purposes. In addition to this, 28% of the resident-employed labour force (14,880 persons/53,400 persons) actually commute into Barrie for employment for a net out-commuting figure of only 4.26%(17,040 persons –14,880 persons]/(50,665 persons employed in Barrie)). Source: 2001 Census and City of Barrie Economic Development.
Tourism plays an important role in the local economy. Barrie's [[waterfront]] is at the heart of its tourism industry, with events like the Kempenfest [[arts and crafts]] festival attracting more than 300,000 people. Recreational activities include [[skiing]] at nearby [[Horseshoe Valley]], [[Snow Valley]], Mount St.Louis Moonstone, and [[Blue Mountain (ski resort)|Blue Mountain]] as well as [[boating]] in Kempenfelt Bay. The city also boasts several beaches including Minet's Point Beach, Johnsons Beach, The Gables, Tyndale Beach, and Centennial Beach. Barrie's waterfront is currently under heavy construction, with the relocation of several roadways to provide more greenspace and parkland along the lakeshore. Being strategically situated between Toronto and [[Muskoka]] on [[Highway 400]], Barrie is also considered the gateway to northern Ontario resort destinations (referred to as cottage country).

:::N/A = Data Not Available
The 2006 census metropolitan area found that Barrie and surrounding area has 177,061 residents, which included the City of Barrie (128,430 residents) and its surrounding communities. With the surrounding communities' [[urban area]], the city has 157,501 residents.<ref name="2006CensCMAPop" /> The City is attracting people from all over Ontario, Canada and internationally. It is the fastest growing Census Metropolitan Area and one of Canada's fastest growing cities.
From 1996 to 2001, Barrie saw phenomenal growth. According to [[StatCan]], the city grew by 31.0 per cent, the second fastest growing city in the province of Ontario. This is due to both the young population profile, and a growing number of Canadians moving into the city for economic and technological opportunities. The city grew by an average 4.8% per year from 2001 to 2006 (Census).
In 2001, some 46 per cent of the population is under 14, while 10.9 per cent of the population is of retirement age.
