Hey Fellow pinheds. A friend reached out to me today. He is about to open a new Barcade style establishment in Barrie Ontario. Now the City has changed their tone and is putting up a stank. From what I understand the City does not want the establishment to profit from arcade/pinball machines but my friends argument is that the machines will be on free play and the proceeds will come from food and beverage. The bylaw itself might have to be examined in my opinion.

He has invested a lot of time and money in this project and is close to opening. He has over a dozen pins ready to go.

If you have any advise or suggestions feel free to contact Aron at maslan_aron@yahoo.ca

If you are in the area and can attend the hearing and show support the public committee hearing is October 24th 630 pm, Barrie city hall, 70 Collier street, second floor, sir river Barrie room.

The committee will listen to any comments:

"Any person may write or attend the public hearing to present submissions. For more information, please contact the Planning Services Department, Barrie City Hall, 70 Collier Street, during regular office hours or 705-739-4208.
File No.: A45/18"

Please forward and share this message to all your fellow pinfriends!

Just got this message!

Hi Mike, the variance was approved. There was a group of passionate supporters who turned out, and voiced their approval. Everyone from pinball enthusiasts to city councillors. Barrie will be getting a Barcade late next month!!!
