Barrie Art Club

Founded in 1949 in Barrie, Ontario, the Barrie Art Club (BAC) is a non-profit organization run entirely by dedicated volunteer members. For more than 75 years, our studio, gallery, and workshops have welcomed both members and non-members, offering a creative space where people can learn, explore, and connect through art.

Today, the BAC has grown into a vibrant community resource for artists of all experience levels — from seasoned professionals to those just beginning their creative journey. With nearly 250 members, including artists from across Canada, we foster inspiration, camaraderie, and ongoing art education.

At our core, the Barrie Art Club is a safe, inclusive, and inviting space for anyone who loves art. Our mission is to nurture creativity, support artistic growth, and strengthen the cultural fabric of our community.

Livin' Lake Simcoe

Livin’ Lake Simcoe is the brainchild of a dynamic mother-daughter duo who turned a shared passion for the lake lifestyle into a phenomenal reality. This business is a true labor of love, built from the ground up right here in our communities.
It’s about the laughs shared on the deck, the music playing in the background, and that distinct, peaceful feeling you get the moment you step near the water. With their deep local roots and authentic love for the region, they understand that a great drink is about more than just what is inside the aluminum. It's about the memories you make while holding it.

Ghost Taco

Ghost Taco started as a pivot, but it was built on years of hospitality, creativity, and a deep belief in bringing people together over good food.

When the pandemic shut down their events business, Sam and Grant launched Ghost Taco as a pop-up to keep their team working and to try something new. It was meant to be temporary. Instead, people showed up in a big way.

What followed wasn’t a master plan. It was momentum. Long nights. Early mornings. Listening closely to what people loved and doubling down on it.

Today, Sam and Grant still lead Ghost Taco the same way they did at the start — hands-on, flavour-forward, and people-first. Focused on building something that feels as good as it tastes and keeps people coming back.
