New Meeting Room Coming to Barrie Common Roof | |
Children’s Treatment Network, in collaboration with The Common Roof, is excited to share that we received an Ontario Trillium Foundation Captial Grant to update and enhance the community meeting room space at Barrie Common Roof located at 165 Ferris Lane.
The grant will be used to convert an unused waiting room in the reception area into a new meeting room space which will enhance our capacity to support families.
The work will begin in early October with the goal of opening the new meeting room in early 2025. During this time, there may be loud noise due to the construction. Please keep this in mind when you are attending appointments if your child or youth is sensitive to loud noises.

From trick-or-treating to cookie decorating, wheelchair basketball and fun at the mall, there was something for everyone to enjoy! These events would not have been possible without the support and contributions from our volunteers and network and community partners. Together, we are truly creating a vibrant community where all kids, youth and families belong. | |
