The winners of this year’s ‘I Love Barrie’ contest were recognized at Wednesday night's city council meeting.
Layla Maxwell, a Grade 4 student at Sister Catherine Donnelly Catholic School, was the artwork winner.
She received an ‘I Love Barrie’ prize pack.
The class winner was Mrs. Macdonald’s Grade 2/3 class at St. Bernadette Catholic School.
Class members received a lunch.
Launched on Valentine’s Day, the contest offers students from kindergarten to Grade 12 an opportunity to express why they love Barrie, by sharing artwork, a short story or a photo.
Now in its seventh year, this contest originated in Ward 10 under former councillor Mike McCann, then spread throughout the city.
