Barrie is a city that is growing beyond a population of 160,000 and is quickly becoming an extended part of the Greater Toronto Area.
The Jewish community in the city is relatively small: about 1,000 people. The community maintains the Am Shalom Congregation on Huronia Road, which was founded in 2004. More recently, the Chabad Centre of Barrie has opened, also on Huronia Road.
On June 29, 2020, Barrie City Council approved a motion, sponsored by Barrie Police, to establish an Anti-Racism Task Force. Seven volunteers were chosen to work actively with police services, school boards, community groups, municipal organizations, social services and government agencies to facilitate a stronger understanding of the needs of the city’s diverse population. The Task Force’s mandate includes combatting antisemitism.
We thank Mayor Alex Nutall for proclaiming May 2023 as Jewish Heritage Month in Barrie.

Le 29 juin 2020, le conseil municipal de Barrie a approuvé une motion, parrainée par la police de Barrie, visant à créer un groupe de travail antiraciste. Sept volontaires ont été choisis pour travailler activement avec les services de police, les conseils scolaires, les groupes communautaires, les organisations municipales, les services sociaux et les organismes gouvernementaux afin de mieux comprendre les besoins de la population diversifiée de la ville. Le mandat du groupe de travail comprend la lutte contre l’antisémitisme.
Nous remercions le maire Alex Nutall d’avoir proclamé mai 2023 Mois du patrimoine juif à Barrie.
