The Town of Collingwood annually honours those who, through their exemplary volunteer efforts within the community, enrich the social, well-being, natural or cultural environment, or recreational character of the Town, by bestowing recipients with the prestigious award of the Order of Collingwood.
The Town also recognizes former recipients of the Order of Collingwood who, through their continued volunteerism and ongoing efforts improve the fabric and character of our community, with the distinguished Companion to the Order of Collingwood Award.
Please join Council and Mayor Yvonne Hamlin in celebrating this year’s recipients at the upcoming Mayor’s Annual New Year’s Levee.
"It is a proud moment for our community as it recognizes the amazing contributions of these special volunteers,” says Mayor Yvonne Hamlin.
The official awards will be presented at the Mayor’s Annual New Year’s Levee, which will be held Sunday, January 12, 2025, at The Bear Estate (at Living Water Resort), 300 Balsam Street, in Collingwood.
Doors open at 1:30 p.m. and the ceremony begins at 2:00 p.m.
