Cycle Simcoe is now pleased to present the new interactive mobile friendly web app map, listing all the tourism amenities, safe cycling routes, difficulty rating and more. “If you are looking to explore by bike this summer, the Cycle Simcoe interactive map has everything you need to have a safe and enjoyable trip,” explains Donna Hewitt, Economic Development, Township of Oro-Medonte.
CS contacted Rhubarb Media to help build their guide and map app for these three regions:
Heart of Georgian Bay Routes
Ontario Lake Country Routes
South Georgian Bay Routes
“The app is getting great feedback. Everyone seems to be very impressed and we have gotten some amazing media coverage. It was a pleasure working with Rhubarb. Chad and his team acted as project partners during the entire process, keeping us involved and informed. Their work exceeded expectations and we look forward to partnering on the next phase of our map/site. I would recommend Rhubarb Media to anyone looking to stand out online.” Brendan, Cycle Simcoe

Hi everyone!
I started doing work with Chad in 2006 and continued a working relationship until Rhubarb hired me onto the team in 2009. I am looking forward to continuing this relationship with the Rhubarb team as well as a few others (virtually) around the world.
Since joining up with Chad and the team at Rhubarb Media in 2009 we have launched many great brands, websites and promotional campaigns. I’ve had the pleasure of growing in my creative and communications skills while expanding my horizons on what it means to be an entrepreneur.
By being involved in building up a culture of coworking at The Creative Space, I have learned the value of collaboration and learning from the other business owners. My hope is to see this coworking community continue to flourish as Barrie grows in its entrepreneurial spirit.
I look forward to seeing what great things Rhubarb continues to cultivate, develop, and produce in the coming months and years.
~ Tyler
————————————————-
From the Lead Rhubarbarian,
Five years ago I knew I couldn’t grow further as a company without a leader/partner with a creative eye and a sharp mind when it comes to web and design. Tyler was the guy! He’s been integral in moving us further towards being a go-to company for web design and branding in Barrie and beyond, helping us grow into new markets. Sadly for us, he’s chosen shift gears a bit with a new job and move back into some freelancing. I’ve always referred to him as my #1. (If you are a Trekky, you’ll get that reference.) He will be missed, but we wish him well and if we ever write The Book of Rhubarb, he’ll be one of the key chapters!

Rhubarb Media is known for simplicity in design and a deep commitment to create and express your story to the world. But, if you’ve ever wondered what goes on in a creative mind, this little Christmas scene might sum it up. Mayhem, slightly distorted, a kaleidoscope of hues and a cornucopia of imagery, shapes and shades – all mashed up and interacting and sometimes fighting with each other. We wrestle and wrangle, mix and match, fail and find, until… it becomes your logo, your website, your brochure, your story. Somehow it all comes together.
As we look back on this past year, we celebrate. Our team has worked hard and I’m proud of them. Tyler, Zhenya, Mario, Joelle and Sandra. (And yes, although you’ve moved on Jess, we celebrate you too!) I look over our client list and I am thankful. Many have been with us from day one! (That’s almost 9 years, folks!)
We hope your Christmas isn’t as crazy as this scene looks and that next year is a year of significant and satisfying growth. We look forward to serving you in 2015!

Over the past 8 years, Rhubarb Media has become the go to studio for design and web services for arts and culture organizations and OMAH continues that trend. We consulted with them to create a new and improved content managed site (DRUPAL) designed to be highly visual, interactive and responsive.
What they said when we launched…
“OMG….just checked! WOOT, it’s there!! OMG!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!”

Those Executive Directors can be so reserved sometimes.:)

Rhubarb’s founder and owner Chad Ballantyne continually takes a leadership role in the community, encouraging the collaboration of businesses, mentoring of youth and modelling social responsibility.
In addition to donating these invaluable services, Rhubarb’s founder and owner, Chad Ballantyne, has sat on the ‘Pathways Committee to End Homelessness’ and the ‘Entrepreneurship Advisory Board’ for Georgian College. Chad is a contributor to our community newspaper, challenging readers to pursue passion, creativity, care for others and personal responsibility.
Rhubarb sponsors The “Creative Space”, a coworking space of over 40 small business members (created by Chad and his wife Sandra) which supports Barrie’s entrepreneurs through collaboration and community, mentorship of students and encourages the revitalization of Barrie’s downtown core, which is one of the priorities addressed in the city’s 2010-2014 Strategic Plan.
Rhubarb’s owners, Chad and Sandra Ballantyne live and run their business in a way that truly reflects their understanding of the connectedness of each of these elements to a healthy, thriving community. They put heart into their business.
Ballantyne volunteers at the organization he started and Rhubarb sponsors, ‘The Creative Space’, where local businesses can sponsor a desk for a Georgian Student through their ‘Trep’ (entrepreneur) program.
