Who is running for school board trustee in Barrie?

Four school boards serve Barrie, and you vote for a trustee on exactly one of them: the board you are registered as a supporter of. The two English boards divide Barrie into trustee zones made up of municipal wards; the two French boards elect across a much wider region.

This is the certified ballot. Nominations closed August 21, 2026, and the City Clerk certified the candidates on August 24, 2026. Nobody can now be added; a certified candidate's name stays on the ballot even if they withdraw.

Names and races checked on September 10, 2026 against the City of Barrie — List of Certified Candidates (Form EL07), signed by the City Clerk, dated August 24, 2026 (the City publishes the Clerk's signed list as a PDF on that page). Filing times and campaign contact details are from the City of Barrie — 2026 Election Certified Candidates List, last read September 10, 2026, plus details candidates have sent us directly, marked supplied. Home addresses published by the City are deliberately not reproduced here; see methodology.

Which board you vote for is set by your school support designation on the assessment roll, and it does not follow where your children go to school. To check or change it, use the City's voter registration tool; see how to vote.
