This piece of art has stood guard by the water for as long as I can remember. It has become a symbol of Barrie in many people's minds. And sometimes, some intriguing individuals are known to hang hammocks up there and get photographed by the Barrie Examiner!

This eye sore looks like we are worshiping the devil I don't understand how this monstrosity became a symbol of Barrie. One day we should scrap it.

Ugliest structure ever. This shows you that even if you've got nothing else going for you in life, that you too could create one terrible looking piece of "art" and sell it to the city of Barrie for a tidy profit. I guess in that sense, this structure is very inspirational.

This sculpture is an icon for the city of Barrie. It cannot be fully appreciated until you have been upfront and personal with the Spirit Catcher. it swings and sways with the wind or a breeze. It sings it's own song with the squealing of iron...no two songs alike. You have to see it to believe it! Enjoy.

The Spirit Catcher is a beautiful landmark in the downtown Barrie area. We were in the area October 2013.The Spirit Catcher\ was designed by sculptor Ron Baird. He designed it for the 1986 EXPO in Vancouver. is now situated on the shore of Kempenfelt BayI very much enjoyed seeing it.

This is such a beautiful area. The lake and the boats, the beautiful board walk, the nice ice cream hut with the best ice cream and a lot for what you pay. The spirit catcher is definitely a eye catcher.Whether your down there at sunset or just during they day it's beautiful , and great place to take walk. Depending on the day you go down they have a old car show, dragon boat races, people fishing, and the big serendipity boat that takes you around the bay. The person who made the spirit catcher has now made a big clock at the other end on the old train station.
