Parks Ambassador Program

The Park Ambassadors Program is a partnership between the Barrie Police Service, Barrie By-Law and Barrie Parks and Recreation. The program is designed to provide an opportunity for willing individuals of the community a chance to monitor parks and trails for damages, graffiti and other public disturbances. They then will report these incidents to the Barrie Police Service, Municipal By-Law, Parks Operations or other appropriate services. This initiative is designed to be rewarding to its participants in a way that allows them to feel they are "looking after" their "backyards."
