#throwbackthursday to A Special Event Hosted In Collingwood in 2018 Many people in Collingwood and the surrounding region enjoy the labours of Theatre Collingwood, including the many plays and musical revues that they present during their theatre season, but few of us stop to think how they raise the money to put on such high calibre shows. Theatre Collingwood is a professional not-for-profit theatre company with some of Canada’s top talent performing for them in approx...imately nine productions each year.

When you are looking for your Dream Home, you get to find a home uniquely suited to the way you live. Think about your lifestyle and how your Dream Home should ...reflect that. You can find a space that’s perfectly suited to your preferences and lifestyle. Modern houses tend to feature muted colours, large windows, and clean lines. They may use materials like reinforced steel or concrete. Another key difference is the floor plan. In a traditional home design, the space is divided into separate, single-purpose rooms.
