Come out to the Collingwood Curling Club and join us for the 2026 Parkinson's South Georgian Bay June Festival

What if the future of Parkinson’s could be changed—not someday, but now?

What if the answers weren’t only in labs and clinics, but right here in our communities?

Join Parkinson’s South Georgian Bay for the 2026 PSGB June Festival — a bold, one-day experience built around Exercise. Educate. Empower. Where global innovation meets local action.

The Southern Georgian Bay Jewish Community and the Collingwood Public Library invite the community to a special speaking engagement with Holocaust survivor and educator Nate Leipciger for Jewish Heritage Month Event, taking place at the Simcoe Street Theatre, 65 Simcoe Street, Collingwood.

We are pleased to present a two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, author Terry Fallis  www.terryfallis.com/

This event is taking place in the Collingwood Public Library, 3rd floor, rooms B & C. Registration is required. Visit www.collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca to register.

This group is not for the person living with a dementia.

Join a free dementia support group to attend with your peers. The group will begin in September and will take place in the FreeSchool room at the Collingwood Public Library at 10 a.m.

Supporting a family member or friend diagnosed with dementia can be a new experience.

Share insights and experiences with each other related to your own personal caregiving.
