Auto show returns to Georgian College in Barrie
North America's largest outdoor auto show returns to Georgian College in Barrie.

“It’s going to be the biggest auto show yet. We actually have electric vehicle test drives here this weekend. It’s a great experience for people to come and check out new vehicles without any pressure from sales people and instead of going from dealership to dealership, you have every main car brand here. Check out the vehicles, go inside them, ask the students the questions, and they’ll know them,” said Luke Reymer, the auto show’s marketing and media director.
