It's the perfect place to sit back, unwind, and enjoy some time out on the water. Fortunately for us, however, these certainly aren't the only reasons to love this vibrant town! In this blog post, we'll share more about why we choose Collingwood for our business. We'll also highlight some of the amazing things that visitors can see and do while in town!
A Little Collingwood History
Collingwood has a long and rich history dating back to the early 1800s. This charming town was originally founded as a sawmill settlement and later became an important lumbering and shipbuilding centre. Today, Collingwood's thriving tourism industry pays homage to its nautical past while also offering visitors a wide range of modern amenities and attractions.
