Canada’s most spectacular and memorable urban areas are thoughtfully planned out by teams of bright innovators.
For the best results, Barrie mayor Jeff Lehman knows urban economies flourish when collaborating public and private entrepreneurship.
“[The] government has to embrace the idea that we can work with the startup community and even embed them in what we do.”

In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Lehman about the opportunities of urban innovations when public office meets private entrepreneurs.
