HAVE YOU HEARD? INSIDE SIMCOE IS NOW PLAYING

WEEKLY PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS NEWS FROM ACROSS REGION

We launched our inaugural podcast, Inside Simcoe, last Friday.

New instalments of our weekly podcast, bringing you the week's news from across Simcoe County, will drop each Friday afternoon.

In our first episode, we heard about:

• 'The whole world was changing almost hourly': A look at how three years of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the City of Barrie.

• Natural gas prices have jumped this winter, and those on fixed incomes are feeling the squeeze. We looked deeper into the cost of heating a home after one Orillia woman found she was paying nearly $400 a month to keep warm.

• A water-capacity project with a price tag of $42 million may cause housing development in Stayner to grind to a halt, unless Clearview Township can find some way to pick up the tab.

• Meanwhile, an Innisfil

woman might have to pay the bill on an $80,000 fix, unless town council can be swayed by an engineer's inspection.
