Barrie councillors are establishing a theatre reserve in 2022 to be used for future theatre capital requirements, with an annual contribution of $2.5 million from the re-investment reserve. It would be capped at $15 million.
Coun. Jim Harris said it was to have something “tangible, meaningful, and inspirational, aspirational, for our city” to plan for and invest in should there be an opportunity for a new theatre.
