Collingwood is the location of the Regional Hospital and a wide range of other personal and business services.

The region is seen as one economic corridor, with strong labour mobility within a 20- minute commute.

Collingwood has seen a significant shift towards the tourist-related service industries in the past 30 years and has built up a reputation of being a great home base for visiting both the winter ski resorts to the west and the summer beach attractions to the east. Despite this move to a more service-focused economy, Collingwood’s manufacturing base remains relatively healthy, and a source of a significant number of regional jobs.

Today, the Collingwood area is a major tourist destination for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The Town’s location along the shoreline of Georgian Bay and proximity to the Niagara Escarpment ideally situates the municipality between the winter resort areas to the west and the world’s longest freshwater beach to the east.

There are approximately 220 acres of industrial land available within Collingwood. These lands are located either along Mountain Road or in the east end industrial park. Along Poplar Side road, a 125-acre industrial park has received draft approval. Current zoning regulations permit a wide variety of uses within our industrial parks.

Collingwood is a welcoming community with impressive residential growth and quality of life. The community maintains a small town feel while offering big city amenities and providing unparalleled recreational opportunities year-round.

1.1 Location

Collingwood is located approximately midway between the Cities of Barrie and Owen Sound on Provincial Highway 26, which provides access to Grey and Bruce Counties in the west, and to Toronto via Highway 400 in the southeast. County Road 124 originates in Collingwood and provides access to the heavily populated Golden Triangle to the south.

At 33.46 square kilometres of land, Collingwood is one of the smaller municipalities in area, but it has the largest population and countless amenities. Collingwood serves as the entertainment, shopping, recreation, and tourist hub. With a full transit system including links to Wasaga Beach and the Town of the Blue Mountains, Collingwood is in the centre of all the action.

1 Refers to the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day and his or her usual place of residence one year earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility status (1 year ago). Within the category of movers, a further distinction is made between non-migrants and migrants; this difference is called migration status. 2 Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one year earlier. 3 Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address from the one at which they resided one year earlier. 4 Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they lived in one year earlier. 5 Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside Canada one year earlier (external migrants).
