Driving Knowledge, Innovation & Community Impact

The Barrie Public Library is excited to support the launch of the Community Impact Lab, an initiative by Georgian College that brings together students, businesses, and community leaders to spark local change and innovation.

Stronger Knowledge. Stronger Community. Greater Prosperity.

The Community Impact Lab empowers organizations like the Barrie Public Library to be part of a broader mission—connecting people, fostering innovation, and helping address key challenges such as socio-economic inequality, inclusion, and environmental stewardship.

By working together with students and local businesses, the Library aims to serve as a learning hub and connector, helping bridge the gap between education and real-world impact for a more resilient and vibrant Barrie.
