I wonder how the businesses in the area feel about the situation, does it affect their bottom dollar.

There are lots of places to park in downtown Barrie. They cost a fortune, but you can park.

As far as hut operators, I'm certain they have figured out parking for their clients. If not, yeah, for sure, just like any other business that hasn't figured out how to cope in this new environment, they'll suffer.

The GTA on Lake Ontario isn't as crazy. Whitby launch is free, has tons of parking, and even facilities on-site for you. Who'd ever have thought Simcoe-Muskoka would be worse than the GTA?

Never seen Whitby launch "free". Was a resident for many years and it was always 8 or 9 bux for the day. The gates are usually open but you still have to display your paid ticket in the dash

There is a public launch beside Whitby Marina where I launched last summer. There was no pay station or anything that I can remember. Maybe I'm misremembering? I just googled and it says $9 like you mentioned.

Maybe they removed it last year.. hmm.

Anyway, the launch at Whitby is far and beyond anything Barrie provides. Innisfil isn't bad.

I don't share their feelings, but most people in Simcoe Muskoka hate people from Toronto since they literally trashed the place in 2020. That's why all the counties are blanket banning non-resident parking.

As a resident from Barrie, I can't even launch my boat at Innisfil anymore because only Innisfil residents are allowed to launch there. I have to pick between that horrible Tiffin launch, and the paid Barrie launch - that's it! Well, you can also pay Sandy Cove marine $50 to launch your boat at their launch as well.

And since Friday Harbour doesn't have a launch, which is absolutely bonkers for the money the slips cost, I'm kinda stuck using public launches. Paid Barrie launch for $17.70 a launch it is

You and i need to work something out… ill send you over my innisfil pass and you send me over your barrie pass.
