Livestreamed into Your Home

Last winter, we introduced a new series and format to bring you a spark of inspiration.  The four local young people certainly did that!  Feedback from you was very positive.

This year is once again a time when many of us will be home and looking for comfort and a warm spark of inspiration by mid-winter.  We have once again assembled a wonderful group of people from the Barrie area who have made significant contributions in a variety of areas including entrepreneurship, community spirit, the environment, human rights and advocacy.

Join TAB co-founder Pat Mansfield in conversation with each of these inspiring leaders on Zoom.

February 1, 2022: Tracey Baker

I’m a Barrie girl who diverted my path for a quarter century to build a career in Toronto. But I came home, unknowingly, for a new chapter. There was a marriage and a divorce. A few homes, a long Alzheimer’s journey with Mom, the best roommate a father’s daughter could ask for, and a busy little boutique in downtown Barrie. Did I mention my lifetime cancer journey?  Let’s get started!

February 8, 2022: Shelly Skinner

Shelly Skinner is a social entrepreneur, activist and President and Founder of UPlift Black. She speaks truth to power candidly in hopes to empower and inspire others to join her in anti-oppressive practices. Her goal is to achieve social justice and true equity for all.

Craig is an enthusiastic entrepreneur who is behind local/regional development projects including the founding of the Sandbox Centre and more recently, helping create the Barrie Market District.
