CollingWord 2025 is a literary festival that brings authors and readers alike together for a weekend of local storytelling, graphic novels, fan fiction, and much much more. Taking place from 18 - 19 October at the Collingwood Public Library, CollingWord is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to celebrating the literary achievements of the local authors of the South Georgian Bay Writers’ Connection (SGBWC), while encouraging literary development among youth.
We believe that the power of words can ignite change and inspire confidence in youth and our community. By partnering with local businesses, not-for-profits, and other community partners, we can collectively foster a vibrant literary that nurtures creativity and empowers the next generation of storytellers.
