The holidays are approaching quickly and it's time to decorate your tree! Looking for some new ornaments to add to your collection?

In 2002, the Downtown Barrie BIA started to immortalize Barrie heritage buildings in its Christmas ornament collection. The Barrie Public Library has always been a purchase location with all profits from the sales going back to the Library. 

This collection has been discontinued, so although new ornaments will not be released, we have ornaments from years past that we're selling for the discounted price of $10 per ornament. 

Featured Buildings include:

  • The Allandale Railway Station
  • Old Town Hall and Market Place
  • Old Royal Victoria Hospital
  • Carnegie Library
  • Old Fire Station
  • The Opera House
  • The Wellington Hotel
  • Barrie Arena
  • Mulcaster St. Armoury
  • Simcoe Hotel
  • Memorial Square
  • Barrie Central Collegiate
  • Steele’s China & Gift Shop
  • Court House Hill
  • Old Barrie Gaol
  • The Queen’s Hotel
  • Prince of Wales Public School
  • Lakeview Dairy

Ornaments can be purchased at our Café located in the Downtown Library at 60 Worsley Street. Our Café is currently only open limited hours; the best time to catch a volunteer at the Café is on Mondays before 11:30am and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 2:30pm.
