Horseshoe Resort officials plan to invest $1 million in snowmaking equipment to ensure good conditions on the runs when Mother Nature doesn t cooperate.
BARRIE, ONT. Boxing Day weekend at Barrie s Georgian Mall is one without shoppers, crammed stores, and the post-holiday hustle and bustle. There was eerie quiet at the mall Sunday on the second day of the second province-wide lockdown of the year. In-store shopping is off the table, but shoppers can pick up items purchased online. It isn t only shops feeling the pain, but restaurants that depend on mall traffic to survive. It s kinda hard to see, said Anabela Santos, franchise owner of the Georgian Mall Sunset Grill, pointing to the empty dining room. But we have to do what we have to do.
