Espresso Post: Java Stop in Collingwood
yooperprof Says: Nice little coffeeshop on Hurontario St. in central Collingwood. Lots of parking nearby. It's next door to a nifty little garden store. There's an outlet of the big Seattle-based coffee chain on Provincial Route 28, by the bay, but you'll be glad to pass that by and come...
MRS. MITCHELL'S: COUNTRY HOSPITALITY

Collingwood is served by Highway 26, which runs along the shore of Nottawasaga Bay, and Highway 24 which runs southward from the town. The town is also served by a rail trail along a former CN Rail line, connecting Collingwood to the towns of Owen Sound, Meaford, and Barrie, with a spur heading north through the town's central business district, to the large grain elevators at the downtown wharf, where trains would formerly load and unload onto ships.
In addition to Collingwood's position as a lake port, it is also served by Collingwood Airport (CNY3), a medium-sized airport located about 4 miles (7.4 km) south of the town.

...: Christmas on Blue Mountain
Anita_Porec Says: hm....just a year ago there was nothing here...and nowhere to buy gloves if you had to.... BUT, since the Village is being built up, now there are shops all over the place. The prices are not stacked very high... probably the same as in the town/city area. There are a few...

Interesting spelling. Looks like a good place to catch a show. I'm always glad to see small theaters preserved in older towns.

kris-t Says: The town is a short distance from the popular Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, an attractive destination that received the title of Biosphere Reserve in 2004, and is the world's largest freshwater beach.
kris-t Says: The land in the area was originally inhabited by the Iroquoian Petun nation, which built a string of villages in the vicinity of the nearby Niagara Escarpment. They were driven from the region by the Iroquois in 1650. European settlers, including freed Black slaves, arrived...
yooperprof Says: The old Market Building was once the city hall of Collinghood. (It dates from 1889.) It has recently been carefully restored, and now is home to an museum of the the town and its region.
yooperprof Says: The civic center is a real masterpiece of late Victorian architecture. It's in the style widely known as "Richardsonian Romanesque," characterized by those large rounded arches on the ground level. Also, the tower is meant to remind the passer-by of similar towers on palazzi...
yooperprof Says: The main street lined with shops and offices in central Collingwood is called Hurontario Ave. This is one of many impressive buildings that you'll find there.
yooperprof Says: As the marker says, "Honoring the past and celebrating the future." Nice to see a Great Lakes community appreciating the importance of its waterfront.
