Testimonials

• “Collingwood is in every sense of the word, a community. I was given my first business opportunity here, at the same company I am now a partner with, and enjoy giving local students the same opportunities. I feel that being involved in community service is important, and in a place like this it is easy to get involved. For me, the sense of family was important. I grew up here, my family is in the area and I am so glad to be here to raise my family.”

- Sue Bragg, Partner at Gaviller and Associates

• “Our Engineering Firm, C. F. Crozier & Associates Inc., opened in downtown Collingwood close to 5 years ago and has since expanded from 3 to 24 employees. Our people are a mix of the area's established and newly settled residents. Much of what makes Collingwood attractive in terms of development potential for our firm, has proven equally attractive to our staff as a lifestyle choice. With first class amenities, natural landscapes and a close knit community, all within a few hours drive of the GTA, we would be hard pressed to find a more ideal location to grow our business and our families.”

-Chris Crozier, P.Eng, C.F. Crozier & Associates Inc.

• “Not only is Collingwood my chosen place of residence it is my chosen place of business. For my business, Collingwood provides an attractive location: it is centrally situated in the southern Georgian Bay region; it provides an excellent range of readily available supplier services, and; most of the related professional businesses we rely upon and work with also call Collingwood home. With continued growth in the area we look forward to keeping our Collingwood address and leveraging opportunities for our company growth.”

• “I chose to practice in Collingwood because it is a beautiful town with access to a wide variety of recreational activities such as golf, biking, skiing and water sports. I have greatly enjoyed the years I have been here and appreciate that it’s not only a great area to work in but also a wonderful place to raise a family. There is a strong community spirit here.”

• “Collingwood is one of Canada’s best kept secrets. The Town and surrounding area offer every amenity available at a world class four season resort. The community was built and continues to grow through a co-operative local government; and the area respects and honours family values. All of this is located 40 minutes by local highway from the Trans Canada highway and one hour and forty minutes from the Toronto International Airport”.
