Collingwood

Welcome To Collingwood

Located on the shores of Georgian Bay with the Grain Terminal as the unofficial symbol of the town, Collingwood is the gateway to the Blue Mountain Ski Resort for visitors coming from Toronto. It’s one of the larger Towns in the area, with a population of over 20,000; Less sleepy than its smaller surrounding villages, Collingwood offers that sweet spot of big-town amenities with small-town charm… Easy access to a ton of outdoor adventures and activities, as well a vibrant downtown with galleries, clothing shops, and home good stores you could spend all day popping in and out of; plus the food and craft beer scene in Collingwood is ah-ma-zing.

Boundaries

Collingwood’s borders run from Poplar Sideroad to the water’s edge, nestled between Wasaga Beach and Blue Mountain Resort. The Historic Downtown runs North/South from Highway 26 to about Hume Street and is a lovely stroll from end to end. Larger big box stores, like Walmart, are easily accessible just off the main highway running through town. The Collingwood Harbour is also easily walkable from the downtown core.
