Collingwood at a Glance
Collingwood is truly a gem in southcentral Ontario's
crown. Greeting visitors with its brick facades and tree-lined streets, this town
is situated on the Southern
Georgian Bay shoreline, less than two hours north of Toronto.
Home to Ontario's largest ski destination, Blue
Mountain Resort is not actually atop a mountain, as its name suggests. Rather,
the slopes are created by a scenic stretch of the Niagara
Escarpment, also responsible for the Niagara
Falls. Blue Mountain is also home to million-year-old caves and crevices awaiting
exploration at the Scenic
Caves Nature Adventure. Rather than sand, the shores of Craigleith
Provincial Park are comprised of flat shale, some containing invertebrate
fossils as old as 455 million years. In stark contrast to its other main attractions,
Collingwood lures thousands to the annual Collingwood
Elvis Festival, the largest of its kind outside of Memphis. Fans nosh fried
peanut butter and banana sandwiches while impersonators of The King get all shook
up.
