              My class is right!  Collingwood is a great place to live!  When I first moved here from Nothern Ontario, I was completely taken off guard.  Although I knew we grew fruit in Ontario, I didn't quite expect to be living across the street from an apple orchard.  Coming from an area that was almost completely covered by rock and coniferous trees, made buying a house with an apple and a pear tree in the backyard very exciting!  Every year, my in-laws travel almost eight hours to come "South" and help my neighbours during apple season - just for fun!
                Although I have now lived here for 14 years, I still feel like a tourist on vacation whenever I sit on the shale or the shores of Georgian Bay and watch my children swim in the clear blue water or body suft in the waves.  In the winter, I can escape my hectic schedule, by taking a mini ski vacation in my own town!  Because Collingwood is very dependent on tourism, there is always something going on and there are many great places to eat. 
            Please support our class in our quest to promote our wonderful town through music.  Vote for Collingwood!

  1. Hello!

    We'd like to have you on the Great Canadian Song Quest podcast. We're devoting an episode to the locations that didn't make it to our short list, but are still great!

    I'd love it if you could drop me a line.
    Oh, and feel free to delete this comment once you get it. ;)
