    Shipyard Social and Collingwood Terminals projects part of Collingwood Museum’s busy September lineup 

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [23 August 2024] – The Collingwood Museum invites you to celebrate a month of activities, kicking off with the annual Shipyard Social and special Collingwood Terminals offerings during September. 

    Celebrate the men and women of the Collingwood Shipyards at the 8th annual Shipyard Social on Saturday, September 7. This year’s event begins with the popular “Hardhats on Hurontario” march, departing Town Hall at 11:30 a.m. Shipyard workers are encouraged to bring their hardhats if they still have them. Participants (including community members) can pick up a hardhat from Museum staff between 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. beside Town Hall. A courtesy cart will be available to assist with transportation. Scooters and assistive devices are welcome in the procession along the Simcoe Street sidewalk. 

    At 12:00 p.m. sharp a group photograph of former shipyard employees will be taken at the Collingwood Museum. For the remainder of the afternoon, the community is invited to participate in a social gathering on the museum grounds. Everyone is invited to explore the museum’s exhibits, including a special photograph installation by local author-photographer George Czerny-Holownia. A slideshow of special moments from past Shipyard Socials will also be displayed. Admission to the event is free. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.

    Parking will be available at the Collingwood Museum as well as the HarbourEdge Centre at 40 Huron Street. The Town of Collingwood’s courtesy cart will be available to assist with transportation to and from the site.

    The Museum is also honouring the history of the Collingwood Terminals with three exciting offerings throughout September. The fourth season of the Museum’s popular podcast, Stories from Another Day, drops on Tuesday, September 3 at 9:00 a.m. with a special episode that discusses the histories of Collingwood’s three grain terminals. Find this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. 

    In conjunction with the Terminals Point Project, Collingwood Museum staff are running a caption contest for the Museum’s newest T-shirt design that will feature one of the earliest depictions of the iconic structure. Submissions are being received in-person at Town Hall or online at Engage Collingwood – Terminals Point page until 4:30 p.m. on Monday, September 9, 2024. The winner will receive a free T-shirt featuring their slogan! For full details visit engage.collingwood.ca/collingwood-grain-terminals.

    Rounding out the month, the Collingwood Museum will be launching an online collection of photographs and objects relating to Collingwood’s three grain terminals on September 15. Over 250 photographs, dating back to 1855, will be available to explore from the comfort of your home or smartphone device. The collection’s launch coincides with the 95th anniversary of the first shipment of grain received by the Collingwood Terminals in 1929. Access the collection by visiting www.collingwood.ca/museum

    For full details about the Museum’s offerings, please visit www.collingwood.ca/museum or contact Collingwood Museum staff.
