When Alex Nuttall held office (lines, coloured by office) and the elections they contested without winning (dots). Terms are drawn from election records alone: a line runs from each election to the next one for that office — or ends early where winning a different office ended the term — so a resignation for any other reason would not appear here.

Federal and provincial rows are a different level of government on a different ballot, and (per Elections Canada and Elections Ontario's own results) their counts are never to be compared with a municipal count. See the full riding history for how Barrie's ridings have been drawn and renamed since 1999.

How to read this table. Most council business passes on consent with no member-by-member vote in the minutes. When one appears is itself a recording practice that has changed with the City's minutes systems — routine in the era through 2019, usually on a member's request from 2020 on. So this is the complete set of votes the minutes record by name, not of positions taken — absence from this table is not absence of a position. The voice votes are in the record too: every motion outcome printed in every council meeting's minutes — 2,872 across 257 meetings, beside these 178 recorded votes — each listed on its meeting's page, always as an outcome and never as anyone's position, because a voice vote records none. The public record also has a hole: the City's meeting system lists no meetings at all between October 22, 2025 and January 20, 2026, so any recorded votes from that window are missing until the Clerk provides the minutes. Where the minutes print no outcome beside a vote, none is shown here.

Source: City of Barrie council minutes, 2013–present, as published on the City's public meeting system (pub-barrie.escribemeetings.com) and archived locally on 2026-08-09. Each row links to the minutes document it was transcribed from; names appear exactly as the minutes print them.

Compiled from the public electoral record. If anything here is wrong, please tell us on the corrections page. Names are linked across elections only where we have confirmed by hand that the records refer to the same person; where we are unsure, they are kept separate.
