Should e-scooters be allowed in Barrie? The City wants to know what you think
The City of Barrie is asking residents to weigh in on whether electric kick-style scooters, better known as e-scooters, should be allowed on local streets, sidewalks and trails. Did you know it's illegal to ride e-scooters on city property or in public rights-of-way? It's true, at the moment, e-scooters can't legally be used on roads, sidewalks or trails in Barrie. Still, officials say residents are already riding scooters around the city, and stores across Ontario continue to sell them, prompting the city to explore new rules. E-scooters are small, electric vehicles with two wheels, a standing platform and a handlebar for steering. They run on a motor of up to 500 watts and can travel as fast as 24 km/h on level ground. The review is tied to a provincial pilot program by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation which gives municipalities the option to test out e-scooters on city roads by creating local bylaws that set limits on where and how they can be used. The aim is to see how the scooters fit into the broader transportation system, while keeping safety in mind. City staff will use public feedback to prepare a report for council, which may include recommendations on whether Barrie should opt into the provincial pilot. Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts through an online survey. The survey closes at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 1.

Following the Annual General and Special Meeting of the shareholders of New Found Gold (the " Shareholders") held in Vancouver, BC , on August 20, 2025 (the " Meeting"), the Board now comprises Paul Huet , Keith Boyle , William Hayden , Vijay Mehta , Melissa Render , Chad Williams and Tamara Brown . At the Meeting, disinterested Shareholders voted in favour of an ordinary resolution to approve the creation of Mr. Eric Sprott as a new "Control Person" (as defined by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV")). It is anticipated that Mr. Sprott will become a new Control Person upon closing of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 12,269,939 common shares (the " Common Shares") at a price of C$1.63 per Common Share for gross proceeds of approximately C$20 million (the " Private Placement"). The Private Placement is anticipated to close by August 27 , 2025, subject to final approval of the TSXV and authorization of the NYSE American LLC (the " NYSE American").

Paul Huet , Chairman of New Found, stated " On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome Tamara to New Found Gold. With her extensive capital markets experience and depth of knowledge of the mining industry as both a mining executive and a professional engineer, Tamara's addition to the Board continues to strengthen the team and the Company as a whole."

Resumption of Heavy Equipment Exploration Activities As a result of a reduction of the Fire Weather Index in the area of the Company's 100% owned Queensway Gold Project (" Queensway"), Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada , exploration activities involving the use of heavy equipment in or near forested areas, including, drilling, mulching and excavating, have restarted at Queensway. These activities had previously been suspended as a precaution against regional forest fire risks (see the New Found Gold news release dated August 13, 2025). Keith Boyle , Chief Executive Officer, stated: " The Fire Weather Index across Newfoundland has been reduced to acceptable levels. With weather conditions favourable and the Fire Weather Index within operational limits, exploration activities will resume immediately. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and implement additional measures to mitigate forest fire risks. The New Found Gold team once again extends its thanks to the firefighters for their hard work in maintaining community safety ." About New Found Gold Corp. New Found Gold holds a 100% interest in Queensway, located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada , a Tier 1 jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure and a skilled local workforce. The Company has completed an initial mineral resource estimate (" MRE") and preliminary economic assessment (" PEA") at Queensway (see New Found Gold news release dated March 24, 2025 and July 21, 2025 ). Recent drilling continues to yield new discoveries along strike and down dip of known gold zones, pointing to the district-scale potential of the 175,450 ha project that covers a 110 km strike extent along two prospective fault zones. New Found Gold has a new management team in place, a solid shareholder base, which includes a 19% holding by Eric Sprott , and is focused on growth and value creation at Queensway.
