Some people make resolutions a private vow, others don't make them at all.
We asked some familiar faces, community leaders and Barrie residents to share their New Year's resolutions.
Some resolutions are personal and others professional.
As part of our series, we asked Jessi Fournier, owner of J'Adore Fromagerie and Chocolate, about her resolution:
"On behalf of the staff and family at J'Adore, our New Year's resolution is to introduce as many people as possible to the wonderful world of gourmet cheeses all over the world."
