How To Get There

The Town of Collingwood is situated on the southern waters of the scenic Georgian Bay and lies within close proximity to Blue Mountain, an area renowned for its recreational facilities and tourist attractions. The nearby town of Wasaga Beach has the longest strip of freshwater beach found anywhere in the world and one of its parks, Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, was named a Biosphere Reserve in 2004.

Collingwood, Ontario is located directly in the heart of cottage country within the boundaries of Northern Simcoe County and is known for its serene, harbour-front walkways and colourful art galleries.

Collingwood’s full-time resident population has increased dramatically over the past six years with 13% recorded growth between 2011-2017, while the entire Georgian Bay Triangle area swells to approximately 85,000 people each summer. Many residents maintain a strong appreciation for the performing arts sector with continued active participation as soloists, music teachers, choristers and fans.

Roundabouts

Highway 26 has several roundabouts in the Collingwood area. A roundabout is a circular intersection where two or more roads meet. Traffic circulates through them counter-clockwise, to the right of a centre island. All entering vehicles must yield to traffic already in the roundabout.
