About County of Simcoe  
County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia. Visit our website at simcoe.ca. The County of Simcoe is a proud partner of United Way Simcoe Muskoka in part because of a shared mission to build up our communities and residents. The challenges of the past few years have had a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable in our communities, only increasing the gap for those struggling. Funds raised through events such as this continue to be used to make positive impacts on the social issues that limit opportunities for many vulnerable residents and families.
