BACKGROUND
The Barrie Public Library is one of the busiest spots in the city, with over 3000 people a day coming through their doors. Patrons visit them to check out leisure reading materials, participate in programs, use library services for help with homework, and more!
At the heart of every great city is a great library. The place to learn, meet others, study with and be inspired. Barrie’s library website was in a state of “funk” for many years and with the increased need to serve our ever-increasing digital culture, it was time to catch up! Throughout a series of gatherings and an awesome team effort, we developed a great tool for them.

WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND
Over the past eight 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.

Taking an airport to new heights
Background
The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is one of the newest and best positioned regional airport facilities in Canada. Located in one of the fastest growing regions of Ontario directly serving a population base of over 450,000, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport serves the County of Simcoe including the municipalities of Barrie and the Township of Oro-Medonte. The Airport offers these users a convenient location in close proximity to both the Greater Toronto Area as well as pristine Central Ontario Cottage Country. With its modern airport facilities and 6,001 ft runway, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is able to serve a wide variety of aircraft ranging from small recreational and flight training aircraft to larger corporate, regional and commercial aircraft.
How we helped:
In 2007 we met with Mike Drumm from Lake Simcoe Regional Airport to begin one of our long-standing client relationships. We created a new modern logo and custom CMS website built in Adobe Flash. (We did say 2007!) In 2012 we re-launched a new design, fresh content and refocused on new opportunities at the airport. And in 2019, redeveloped it again to allow for more content management abilities. They love the new CMS, built on one of our favourite platforms,Word Press and DIVI.

Things we worked on:
- Branding
- Web
- Drupal
- Design
The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport through its parent, the City of Barrie, undertook to completely re-brand the regional airport’s image with a new corporate logo and web site as the core projects. The diverse nature and fast pace of the aviation business demanded a product that would define the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport as contender in the global market – Rhubarb Media was able to provide such a product. Not only did the creative and dynamic team at Rhubarb deliver a professional image of the airport, but were able to do so with the initial parameters evolving into a larger product. I would highly recommend the services of this group.
