“I have known Patrick for just a few short years but in that time I have come to greatly admire his efforts. He spends endless hours working on building a better community for us through his role as an MP and his charity work. I have worked with him on the Hockey Night in Barrie charity game for RVH in the summer and the results of those events speak volumes to his dedication to our community. Without a doubt, I fully support Patrick in the upcoming election to represent our great city”.

Patrick Brown has been an early champion of this cause understanding how important it is to keep a high school in our downtown for both the students and to support the city’s revitalization efforts. It has been a pleasure to work alongside Patrick and I know he will do whatever possible to keep Barrie Central downtown.”

“Patrick Brown has been a tremendous friend to the medical community in Barrie. His efforts in recruiting new doctors to the area dates back to his days on Barrie City Council, and those efforts continue now stronger than ever. His recruitment tours to the universities, his ongoing involvement with the Barrie and Area Physician Recruitment Task Force, and the Physician Recruitment Scholarship he created to encourage medical trainees to return to the community have underscored his commitment to this important issue. Health Care in Barrie has benefited greatly from Barrie’s Member of Parliament, and I fully support Patrick Brown and his ongoing efforts for this community.”
