Special flags displayed across Barrie as Canada's premiers head to cottage country
Motorists driving along Highway 400 in Barrie will notice a series of custom flags displayed on five bridges as Canada's premiers head to Huntsville for the 2025 Premiers' Meeting.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is hosting the talks as this year's council chair. 'These flags tell the story of our country and the unity that makes us strong. I'm so proud this tribute was made right here in Barrie by Ontario workers,' Ford stated. 'Flags Unlimited, who will soon celebrate 60 years of business in Ontario, has been a proud partner of the City of Barrie for many years,' said Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall. 'Barrie is honoured to be such a visible supporter of this historic Premiers' Meeting.' The banners were developed in-house by Flags Unlimited. After the Premiers' Meeting, each banner will be given to the respective premier as a keepsake. 'It's an incredible honour for our team to contribute to this historic meeting of Canada's Premiers,' said Matt Skipp, Flags Unlimited co-owner.

The three-day meeting of the country's premiers gets underway Monday at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ont., with trade and tariffs expected to be the main focus. Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to make his way to cottage country Tuesday to attend the meetings.
