Collingwood Ontario

Collingwood Ontario is a small town located at the southern end of Georgian Bay. It was founded in 1858, and its early economy and settlement was driven by European Settlers and freed Black Slaves from the US. Once the railroad reached Collingwood, the harbor became a focal point for Great Lakes Shipping and Shipbuilding. The city remained a force in Shipbuilding up through the end of World War II. Overall, the Shipbuilding industry began to fade after the war, and as of late, many of the area's major industrial companies (and major employers) have begun to close their doors. To counteract this job loss, Collingwood has tried to re-invent itself as a four seasons tourist area, leveraging the Georgian Bay coast, and nearby skiing and other resort areas
