For Barrie Ward 10
City Councillor

Your City. Your Voice.
Keeping Council Accountable

Experienced leadership.
Local results.
A strong voice for Ward 10.

I’m proud to call Ward 10 home and honoured to have represented our community at Barrie City Council. Over the past four years, I’ve worked to be an accessible, responsive and effective Councillor - listening to residents, advocating for our neighbourhoods and helping move forward significant investments in south Barrie and across our city. There is more work to do. I’m asking for your support to continue delivering for Ward 10.

Bryn Hamilton

About Bryn

Community. Leadership. Service.

Ward 10 isn’t just the area I represent – it’s been my home for 46 years.

I live in south Barrie with my family and understand firsthand both the opportunities and challenges that come with living in one of the fastest-growing parts of our city.

Professionally, I serve as a Director at a large regional hospital, and I’m also a local small business owner here in Barrie. These experiences have shaped how I approach my work at City Hall: understand the issue, ask the right questions, work collaboratively, make responsible financial decisions and find practical solutions that deliver results.

Since being elected, I’ve made accessibility one of my highest priorities. Whether it’s answering an email, meeting a resident at their home, walking a neighbourhood to understand a concern or advocating with City staff, I believe residents deserve a Councillor who is responsive and willing to do the work.

At City Hall, I currently serve as Chair of the Infrastructure & Community Investment Committee, providing leadership on many of the major infrastructure and community investments shaping Barrie’s future.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together – and I’m excited about what comes next.

Delivering Results

For Ward 10

South Barrie Recreation
Centre & Library

After years of discussion, we made it happen. One of the most significant community investments ever made in south Barrie - $129M. The new facility will bring much-needed recreation, aquatic, library and community space closer to home for residents in our growing neighbourhoods.

Fire Station 6

Nearly $12M was invested in a new fire station serving southeast Barrie. It opened in November 2025, and stationed 20 new firefighters. It was designed to help improve emergency response coverage for our growing community and to achieve Barrie's 6-minute emergency response target.

Mapleview Drive East Improvements

Construction is well underway on the 1.4 km transformation of Mapleview Drive East from Yonge Street to Prince William Way, including:
• Widening to four lanes
• Multi-use trails on both sides
• New and improved traffic signals
• New street lighting
• Major water, stormwater and underground infrastructure
• $18.5M in provincial funding secured toward Mapleview/Yonge improvements

And yes... I know we're all ready to have Mapleview back!
The full closure of Mapleview wasn't the approach I supported, so I've focused on what I could influence — minimizing its impact, shortening its duration and pushing for every opportunity to accelerate construction. Those efforts are paying off, with the project currently progressing ahead of the originally planned November completion!

Safer Neighbourhoods

Expanded neighbourhood traffic calming and introduced new approaches to improving safety:
• Nearly 20 neighbourhood traffic reviews initiated in response to resident concerns
• Expanded use of speed cushions and radar feedback signs
• Introduced new safety measures including flexible bollards
• Reassessed every Ward 10 community school zone to identify additional safety improvements for Fall 2026
• New pedestrian crosswalk coming to Hurst Drive
• Repainted faded crosswalk and stop-line markings
• Continued intersection and traffic-safety advocacy throughout Ward 10

Investing in the Little Things

• In 2025, the brand-new Nottingham park opened in Ward 10
• Added new bench along Wilkins Walk
• Added bike racks in local parks (including Cedar Grove and Sandringham)
• Improved lighting in community parks (2 solar light fixtures for Golden Meadow Park and updated fixtures at Hyde Park)
• Increased funding for additional snow removal in neighbourhoods hardest hit by winter storms
• Organized Ward 10 community park clean-up and tree-planting days

Delivering For Barrie

I'm proud to have been part of a Council that has worked collaboratively to make significant progress for our city, including:

  • Achieved Barrie’s first-ever AAA credit rating
  • Delivered four consecutive years of 0% operational budget increases
  • Increased City reserves by 25% while reducing debt by 25% over the past four years
  • Secured more than $110 million in Provincial and Federal funding to support Barrie’s priorities
  • Moved forward Barrie’s long-awaited new Performing Arts Centre
  • Advanced the Lakehead University STEM Hub, expanding post-secondary education and innovation in downtown Barrie
  • Brought professional soccer to Barrie – Toronto FC II will relocate to the city in 2028, with a new purpose-built downtown stadium.
  • Approved 779 new affordable housing units
  • Introduced free Barrie Transit for seniors 65+ every Tuesday and Thursday
  • Reclaimed parks and public spaces through a strengthened encampment response, while connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with available supports
  • Established Barrie’s new Conservation Trust to help protect and enhance natural spaces for future generations

My Commitment

For The Next Four Years

Ward 10 is growing quickly. The next four years will be critical to ensuring our infrastructure and services keep pace while protecting the quality of life residents value.

Ensure new Ward 10 development is supported by the roads, parks, recreation, schools and infrastructure our communities need – while advocating for existing neighbourhoods when growth impacts them.

Continue addressing speeding, cut-through traffic and difficult intersections while expanding practical traffic-safety measures where they’re needed.

Respect taxpayers by challenging unnecessary spending, looking for efficiencies and ensuring City investments deliver value while protecting the services residents rely on.

Continue being available, responsive and transparent – answering residents, communicating regularly and ensuring Ward 10 has a strong voice at City Hall.
