Located along the southern shore of Georgian Bay, Collingwood is a four-season community shaped by water, industry, and the surrounding rural landscape.

The town continues to serve as a link between urban life and the productive farmland of Simcoe and Grey counties.

A Community Shaped by Harbour, Trade & Agriculture
