Collingwood

Collingwood occupies a sheltered stretch of shoreline on Nottawasaga Bay, a southern inlet of Georgian Bay, in Ontario. The city developed as a Great Lakes port and shipbuilding centre, and its waterfront still recalls the era of the Collingwood Shipyards, which operated for more than a century before closing in 1986. Georgian Bay's broad waters lie north of downtown, while the Niagara Escarpment and the Blue Mountain area rise to the west, placing skiing, cycling and shoreline trails within the wider South Georgian Bay setting. Brick storefronts, the harbour and a busy four-season recreation economy give Collingwood a character distinct from Toronto's urban lakeshore.
