    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [16 July 2024] – This summer, the Town of Collingwood is excited to be collaborating again with the Environment Network to increase access to fresh vegetables through our community garden initiative. 

    Join us, every Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. from July 23 – August 27, 2024, at the Heritage Park Community Garden, located next to the dog park on 2nd Street to harvest fresh vegetables and play. This is open to all ages and free to participate. The Mobile Park Program will also be onsite for free play starting July 23rd.

    These gatherings are not just about fresh veggies; they’re about community. Attendees can enjoy locally grown produce, meet neighbours, and explore the vibrant garden. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with others.

    “We’re thrilled to partner with the Environment Network to offer these Pop-Up Harvests,” said Amanda Norris, Coordinator, PRC Projects & Community Engagement. “It’s a wonderful way to support local agriculture, promote community engagement, and foster a sense of togetherness.”

    In addition to the garden harvests on Tuesdays, the Mobile Park Program will be returning to our neighbourhood parks on Thursdays, providing free play activities for children. The Mobile Park Program will rotate locations visiting different neighborhood parks throughout the summer, bringing fun and educational activities closer to families throughout the area.

    Mobile Park Play: Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

    •    August 1 – Walnut Street Park, 425 Walnut Drive

    About Collingwood

    The Town of Collingwood is a progressive community located in the heart of a four-season recreation area on the southern shore of Georgian Bay. The area is well known for its many natural amenities and its rich heritage. Collingwood is a destination for tourism and many business, sporting, and cultural events Collingwood acts as gateway to the South Georgian Bay region, with stunning landscapes that encourage an active lifestyle, and inspire the local arts and culture community.  Downtown Collingwood might just surprise you with 30 plus restaurants, 60 plus boutique shops, spas for relaxing, live music for grooving…all in the only downtown core recognized in Canada’s Registrar of Historic Places!  More recently, the harbourfront area is emerging as an extension to the downtown district.  Plans for expanding the amenities and events in the harbourfront area promise to make this a much more prominent tourism destination.
