With a long list of job openings within the area, Simcoe County is hosting a virtual job fair to try and help employers and job seekers connect.
The virtual job fair is a joint effort between the County of Simcoe, the City of Barrie, the City of Orillia and other community partners.
In a statement, the County of Simcoe said there were 9,073 available jobs in the region in December 2022.
