Wasaga has the Beach. Blue Mountain has the Escarpment. Collingwood has the Terminals. Recently, Collingwood council passed a motion asking staff to prepare a “modified tender process” for the possible sale and future uses for the iconic grain elevator structure which was declared surplus by the Town in 2006. Few buildings provoke reaction among the public [...]
I wish there were a way to post an aroma onto a blog. Since I can’t, you’ll just have to make a point of dropping in to Grandma Lambe’s yourself to see, or should I say SMELL what I mean. This quaint market is located on Highway 26 just east of Meaford. It has been [...]
Lots of people have been saying to me lately that they haven’t seen me around as much as usual this summer and wondered why. The answer is WORDSTOCK.

Collingwood is transformed into Memphis North this week-end as Elvii’s from around the world, together with thousand s of fans descend upon our fair town for the 17th Annual, Collingwood Elvis Festival. It is the largest festival of its kind in the world and attracts more than 120 tribute artists. One of the notable stories [...]
