Incumbents
Who holds each seat right now (the council and trustees elected in 2022), and whether each of them has filed to run again in 2026.
Ward numbers do not carry over. Boundaries were redrawn in 2025, so the ward an incumbent represents today is not the same territory as the same-numbered ward on the 2026 ballot. What changed.

An announcement is a stated intention rather than a status. Nominations stay open until August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., and anyone who has announced a departure could still file before then. "Not filed" is the only part the City's list attests.
School board trustees
| Board | Zone | Trustee | In 2026 |

| Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board | Wards 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 | Susan van Amelsvoort | Running for school board trustee record |
| Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board | Wards 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 | Maria Hardie | Running for school board trustee record |

The French-language boards are absent for a documented reason: their 2022 certificate columns give City of Barrie votes only, and both boards elect across a region far larger than Barrie, so the seat winners cannot be determined from the City's document. Nobody is listed here as holding those seats. The 2022 tables state this beside the votes.
