The City says first notices of violations have already been issued to property owners, along with fees. Nuttall says the City will enforce the law, protect neighbourhoods, and hold property owners accountable for any illegal activity. If violations continue, property owners could face more notices and additional fees until the issues are resolved. Barrie Police Chief Rich Johnston says police continue to identify and address illegal businesses operating in the city. "By addressing illegal businesses, we can help ensure the safety of all those who work, visit or live downtown."
