On Saturday, June 6th, our team welcomed the Barrie community for the Drive For Your Community event at Bayfield Ford Lincoln. The event brought people together for a meaningful day of driving, connection, and support for a great cause close to home.
A Community Event With Purpose
Hosted by our Sales Team, the event invited guests to take part in a test drive in support of the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. For every completed test drive during the event, Ford Canada donated $30 toward the cause, helping raise approximately $2,000 over 64 test drives.
The turnout was a strong reminder of what makes the Barrie community so special. Customers, team members, and local supporters came together with a shared purpose: to support the care of some of RVH’s youngest patients and the families who rely on the NICU for intensive care.
Supporting RVH NICU Close to Home
This event also contributed to a larger community donation of more than $25,000 from the Bayfield Ford Lincoln team. These funds will help support critical care, equipment, and resources for families across Barrie and the surrounding areas.
Serving the community has always been an important part of who we are as a dealership. We’re proud to support local initiatives that make a lasting impact, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make this event such a success.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! Whether you completed a test drive, shared the event on social media, or helped bring the day to life, your support helped drive this important initiative forward.
We are incredibly proud to stand behind the RVH NICU staff and the families they support every single day. We couldn't have done this without you!

Comparing the 2026 Ford F-150 STX to Other F-150 Trims
The 2026 Ford F-150 STX sits in the sweet spot of one of the most varied pickup lineups on the road. It carries the sporty styling that catches eyes in the Bayfield Mall parking lot, the work-ready bones that handle a trailer run up Highway 11, and a price point that still leaves room in the budget for a kayak rack or a set of winter tires. For Barrie drivers shopping the full F-150 range, the...
