Barrie youth receives heritage junior conservationist award

Carson Forgrave, a member of the Barrie District Hunters and Anglers Conservation Club’s youth group, is this year’s recipient of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) heritage junior conservationist award.

In 2019, Carson won the OFAH Zone H junior conservationist award. His name and his submission was then sent on to OFAH head office, along with other applicants from clubs across the province. From all these hardworking and deserving youths, Carson was chosen as the winner.

The award is usually presented at the OFAH annual conference, which was postponed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The honour of presenting this award instead fell to OFAH chairman, and proud grandfather, Wayne Forgrave.

Fire at Cedargrove Apartments in Barrie “quickly extinguished:” BFES

Barrie Fire and Emergency Service (BFES) responded to a fire inside a unit at Cedargrove Apartments on Edgehill Drive, just after 10 a.m. on Nov. 29.

Deputy chief Carrie Clark said there was a contained cooking incident in one unit. The resident evacuated and called 911, she said. 

The fire was quickly extinguished, Clark said. Fire crews remained on scene ventilating smoke from the building.

There were no injuries. There is no damage estimate at this time.

“Cooking remains the number-one cause of residential fires in Canada and BFES reminds everyone to stay alert in the kitchen when cooking. Working smoke alarms are essential to keep everyone safe,” Clark said.
