Festival Wrap Up
Collingwood Elvis Festival
The 21st annual Collingwood Elvis Festival welcomed visitors to our community for great music and entertainment, and this year, the focus was on first time visitors. First timers were invited to a special welcome session Thursday evening, and buttons proclaiming "I'm a first timer, treat me nice!" could be seen throughout the weekend.
Norm Ackland Jr. will be our representative heading to Memphis to compete in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Norm’s father is a long-time tribute artist, and his eight-year-old son also competed at our Festival.
Collingwood Live & Original Music Series
Gina Horswood has been selected as the winner of the first Collingwood Live & Original Music Series. Gina, of Queensland, Australia (by way of Toronto) will take home $3,000 in prize money, and the honour of being the first winner of Collingwood Live & Original.
The Live & Original Music Series was a chance for music fans to get to know artists at the start of their careers, and to be able to say ‘I saw them at the start.’
Sidelaunch Days Festival
Sidelaunch Days, Collingwood's first harbour festival, proved to be a tremendous success. Fusing Collingwood's shipbuilding past with its current activities, arts and culture, Sidelaunch Days was a unique way to get people using the harbour and the downtown area.
Events included Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) races, the annual Collingwood Arts & Music Festival, the AT SEA art projection on the grain elevators, a regatta, and Collingwood Kitefest.

Did you know...
Be a Responsible Pet Owner! High Five Tips ...
- All cats and dogs are required to have current rabies vaccination. Its Provincial law!
- All dogs and cats must be leashed or contained on your own property. This protects them and others. You can be fined up to $200 if you let your pets roam off your property.
- Pet owners are responsible for removing excrement left by their pets. If you don’t want to step in it why would others want to? ($200 Set Fine)
- Never leave your pet in a hot car and always ensure your pet has access to water and shade on hotter days. Common sense!
- Ensure your dog(s) is/are registered with the Town. There are discounts for having your pet spayed/neutered and/or microchipped.
For further information please contact Animal Control at 705-445-9334.
