Hi everyone,

My family and I currently live in Milton and we’re thinking about moving to Barrie because we’d really love to be closer to the water and have a better lifestyle balance for the kids.

We have a 4-year-old and a 6-month-old baby, so we’re trying to understand what everyday family life is actually like there.

Would love honest opinions on things like:

• good family-friendly neighbourhoods
• schools/daycares
• safety
• hospitals/healthcare infrastructure
• community centres, parks, and kids activities
• areas to avoid (if any)
• traffic/commute
• overall sense of community

Would especially love to hear from people raising young kids or anyone who moved from the GTA.

Thanks so much!
