As the year comes to a close, we send our best wishes to our colleagues, partners, and communities for a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous, healthy, and joyful New Year.

We’re grateful to our associates, colleagues, and especially our Founder, David Barnes, for organizing a wonderful year-end gathering and an informal open house combined with a productive planning session.

On this Remembrance Day, we take time to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve our country. Their dedication reminds us of the values of peace, freedom, and community that we all share.

As we wrap up the City of Toronto’s 2026 Budget Consultation sessions, Barnes Management Group is proud to have facilitated four in-person and two virtual consultations across the city.

Barnes Management Group (BMG) Indigenous Services is proud to sponsor a new course led by Accessibility and Facility Management Expert Marcia O’Connor, a University of Toronto instructor with over 20 years of experience, titled: “Accessibility for Indigenous Communities and Organizations.”

On October 14th, the first in-person public consultation for the upcoming City of Toronto 2026 Budget took place — and it was a great success! 👏

This season reminds us to pause and reflect on the value of gratitude, community, and connection. We’re deeply thankful for our clients, partners, and team members who continue to inspire our work and help us strengthen communities across Canada.
