McGuinty in Barrie to talk growth

Barrie is on the receiving end of some high-profile Liberal visits, the latest of which is none other than Premier Dalton McGuinty.
The Premier will be in town Thursday, Feb. 24 for a luncheon during which he will address Greater Barrie Chamber of Commerce members and the general public. He will speak on Ontario’s Plan for Jobs and Growth.

Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis and are only available in advance of the event. The chamber is advising those wishing to attend to register early as space is expected to fill fast.
The luncheon will be at the Holiday Inn on Fairview Road. The Premier is scheduled to speak before lunch. Registration begins at 11:20 a.m., with the agenda scheduled to begin at 11:55 a.m. Cost is $40 Plus HST for members and $45 plus HST for non-members.
The visit comes after two Liberal cabinet ministers dropped into town this week. Minister of Education Leona Dombrowsky visited Codrington Public School to discuss full-day kindergarten, while transportation minister Kathleen Wynne was at the Barrie GO station to announce the arrival of the PRESTO commuter card.
