Students from two local Catholic schools are being celebrated after winning the I Love Barrie contest.
The city’s seventh-annual contest was open to elementary and secondary school-aged students across the city, and the winners have now been selected.
This year’s entries were judged on originality, positivity and expressiveness.
“It warms my heart to see the Barrie pride beaming from our youth,” Mayor Alex Nuttall said in a news release. “The community’s involvement with the I Love Barrie contest is a reminder of why we choose to call Barrie home, and I hope all of this year’s participants are extremely proud of their efforts.”
The 2023 I Love Barrie contest winners are:
- Artwork winner: Layla Maxwell, Grade 4, Sister Catherine Donnelly Catholic School
- Class winner: Grade 2/3 class (Mrs. Macdonald’s class), St. Bernadette Catholic School
The students will be invited to an upcoming Barrie city council meeting.
