GAME 4 TONIGHT🏒
The Barrie Colts are protecting home ice tonight & we’re reminding residents to protect theirs too. A working smoke alarm is the ultimate game saver. Before puck drop, test your smoke/co alarms.

Where do you go during a thunderstorm?
If you’re outdoors: shelter in enclosed buildings, metal-topped vehicles, or in low-lying areas.
