Since the beginning of the pandemic, our Club has encountered setbacks, but we are excited to say that we are in the process of bouncing back and we are looking for support from our community to continue on stronger than ever. The Collingwood Clippers Swim Club (formerly Collingwood Y Clippers) have been teaching and coaching competitive swimming to the youth of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Blue Mountain and surrounding areas since 1985.

In recent years, CCSC has continued to produce competitive swimmers that excel at the Regional, Provincial, National and International levels of competition, winning medals and placing within the top 8 at competitions. We have been extremely effective in developing our swimmers and breaking club records. Over the past 3 season our swimmers have broken 28 female short course club records, 43 male short course club records, 33 female long course club records and 40 male long course club records for a grand total of 144 club records!

He had been given the “rights to settle” from the Company of New France and later from the Company of the West Indies. Here, they traded with the Indians and, as the remnants of the dykes suggest, cultivated the soil, growing wheat and vegetables to supplement their staples of game and fish. Nicholas Denys wrote that all “the buildings of LaGiraudiere were enclosed by a fort of four little bastions , the whole made of great pickets or stakes. There were two pieces of brass canon and some swivel guns. The whole in good state of defence.” A clearing was made around the fort, where wheat was grown but the soil was too sandy for good crops, so he devoted his attention to hunting and fishing, particularly salmon fishing and the trading of furs. In the summer of 1669 while LaGiraudiere was in France, Fort Sainte Marie was captured by an English force which had been sent in the autumn of 1668 to expel the French from Port Royal.

  • Allophones Build Communities in the Rest of Quebec
    More Allophones Calling Rest of Quebec Home: Numbers of persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French rises sharply outside Montreal Jack Jedwab Executive Director Association for Canadian Studies February 10, 2009 Special for the Montreal Gazette For several years concerned with the overwhelming concentration of immigrants in Montreal, the government of Quebec has made efforts to encourage newcomers to settle in the regions outside of the province’s largest city. Its efforts may be bearing fruit judging by the results of the 2006 census. The combination of a slightly higher percentage of immigrants settling outside of Montreal in the rest of Quebec and the substantial increase in the numbers of immigrants admitted by the province since the beginning of the century has had an important impact on the demography of several regions. Indeed between 2001 and 2006 the increase has been so important that in several places the combined numbers of allophones surpassed the size of the anglophone population in areas with historically established English-speaking communities. In 1996 the headlines of major Quebec newspapers proclaimed that the number of mother tongie allophones in Montreal surpassed the number of anglophones. While in the rest of Quebec the number of anglophones still exceeded the number of allophones at the time of the 2006 census by now it is reasonably safe to assume that in the ROQ there are more allophones. As observed in the table below where there were more allophones than anglophones in 2001 (e.g. Baie-Comeau, Saguenay, Alma, St.Georges, Thetford Mines, Trois-Rivieres, Drummondville, Granby and Sorel) there are now more allophones.
