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.

  • My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots
    My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots Nancy M. Lee When I began my quest to find my family’s history many years ago, I had no idea that I was directly descended from two old farmers from Grey County, Ontario. In the summer of 2007 I discovered a small notebook in my late cousin’s effects that had originally belonged to my paternal great grandfather, James Albert Leraine Miller, which shed the first glimmer of light on where branches of my family may have settled during the mid-1800s. The notebook had the names plus dates of birth of the children and grandchildren of my paternal great grandparents. James Miller was the father of my father’s mother, Adelene Bertha Miller. In James’ own handwriting, he wrote that he was born in Owen Sound on Feb 18, 1866. Up until then I knew next to nothing about James, and I spent the rest of that year trying in vain to find out more about him and his connection to Owen Sound. The following summer, in August 2008, my husband and I ventured up to the Owen Sound Emancipation Celebration Picnic for the very first time. I had a picture of my great grandfather, James A.L. Miller, and the knowledge which I had gained from the little notebook, as well as the 1871 Canadian Census,1 that he was the son of Margaret and Henry Miller. I went to the registration desk and asked if anyone knew anything about the Miller family. I was then introduced to a gentleman who was descended from Thomas Henry Miller, the co-founder of this Emancipation Celebration.
