Barrie council backs $375M south-end multi-use complex after some tweaks to the plan
A sign for the future home of the south Barrie mixed-use Recreation Complex and Library. Barrie city councillors took another step forward with plans for a $375 million south-end recreation and library complex at Wednesday night's meeting, but not without making a few tweaks first. While most of the changes were modest, a few stood out, particularly a decision to scale back the size of the library component. The facility, which will eventually be built on a 100-acre site along McKay Road East, is being described by councillors as a game-changer for the city's fast-growing south-end. The centre will include a quad-pad arena, an eight-lane 25-metre swimming pool, therapy pools, a triple gymnasium, a fitness centre, and multi-purpose rooms. 'I just wanted to emphasize how well received this has been in south-end Barrie," said Councillor Bryn Hamilton during the meeting. Library Space One of the more notable amendments saw the planned library space reduced from 45,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet. Council also directed staff to explore shared-use options for certain amenities, like washrooms, rather than constructing separate facilities for rec centre workers. Councillor Sergio Morales said the reduction wasn't a statement on the importance of library services overall. 'Just because we're reducing here specifically, it's not indicative of library need in general.' Sports Hall of Fame Another amendment will establish a permanent space inside the complex for Barrie's Sports Hall of Fame, currently housed at the Sadlon Arena. Councillor Gary Harvey supported the move, saying it would have more exposure at the new site. 'It's going to have a lot more foot traffic than what the Sadlon [Arena] will ever see.' Housing Development Council also gave the green light to a related housing development in the south end, rezoning a property near Essa Road and Mapleview Drive to allow for 458 street and block townhouse units, with an additional 66 optional dwellings for future purchasers. The revised proposal was given council's stamp of approval after a troubled first pitch. 'The first application was basically creating a small city within one stretch of about 25-acres,' said Harvey. 'Thankfully, a new applicant came in, but I think this is going to be a very positive addition to the area, opposed to having an empty field or a driving range at this location.' The recreational complex and all its amenities were passed by council, with construction still years away.

Kansas City Chiefs lose key member of Super Bowl-winning team
The Kansas City Chiefs have lost an important member of their team as they won multiple Super Bowls in the past few seasons. Andy Hill, an assistant special teams coach, has announced his retirement from coaching. The team released a statement thanking Hill for his years of service, with Hill responding in a statement of his own. 'Thank you @Chiefs - Coach Andy Reid and Dave Toub and the wonderful coaches and players that I was honored to be a small part of such a class organization-Top to bottom the best in the NFL! Our family says THANK YOU!,' Hill posted. Hill is a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame after spending multiple decades in the coaching business. He began as a graduate assistant at SMU in the spring of 1992 before leaving for Hutchinson Community College that fall. After eventually becoming the head coach at Hutchinson, Hill made the jump to the University of Missouri - where he's stay for nearly two-and-a-half decades. Hill served in various roles with the Tigers from 1996-2020. That included wide receivers coach, co-offensive coordinator, associate head coach, quarterbacks coach, and special teams coordinator. He eventually left for his final coaching job with the Chiefs for the 2020 season. In Super Bowl LVII, kicker Harrison Butker knocked through a 27-yard field goal to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. The following season, special teams played a key role again as the Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime.
