Collingwood, Lower-tier municipality in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada

The town extends along Nottawasaga Bay at the southern edge of Georgian Bay, with residential areas surrounded by natural landscapes and waterfront properties.

Collingwood incorporated in 1858 and developed into a major shipbuilding center, producing the first steel-hulled vessel in Canada during 1901.

The Heritage Conservation District encompasses 260 properties that display architectural elements from different periods throughout the downtown area.

The municipal transportation system Colltrans connects neighborhoods to central facilities, while Highway 26 provides access to surrounding communities.

The former grain elevator, operating from 1929 to 1993, marks the waterfront skyline as a testament to the maritime trading legacy.
