The Georgian Bay provides the residents of Collingwood with its drinking water. Protecting this natural resource is a team effort and we encourage everyone to do their part. Education is key to understanding the complex challenges of protecting our source water and it involves all of us.

In 2006, The Government of Ontario established The Clean Water Act,that ensures communities are able to protect their drinking water from contamination, overuse and sustainability by developing Source Water Protection Plans.

Collingwood Council is excited to engage with residents on matters that mean the most to them! No one knows better what is needed for our community than those of us who live here, work here, and play here. The purpose of engagement is to gather perspectives for decision-makers, not to make decisions. It means that the Town of Collingwood talks to our communities before making decisions. It means that if you have concerns or ideas about improving the quality of life and services in Collingwood, we want to talk to you about them.

Since all trails in Collingwood are multi-use trails, at any time you may encounter hikers, bikers, dog walkers, inline skaters, runners, and others. In order to provide a safe environment for all users, it is critical that all users be courteous and “Share the Trail” – and for cyclist please ensure that you control your speed. Please remember that motorized vehicles are prohibited on the Collingwood Trails with the exception of personal mobility devices and a specific type of E-Bike.
