A charming and historic building with stunning architecture in the heart of Collingwood.

I am writing to congratulate Council on the online voting system. I was initially wary about security, but found voting online clearly explained, efficient and time saving. It also appears to be secure. Well done.

As a taxpayer here, it truly is a joke to try and talk to some one at the town hall. The email address doesn't work, by phone, you will enter and endless loop of, listen to the lengthy menu, wait and customer service rep will speak with you, Rise and repeat. Really poor service

On 1st of July, Canada day, municipal parking are free on Wasaga beach but not in Collingwood Got a 80$ fine for less than 2hours parking in Sunset point beach, because I didnt notice we should pay on that day in that place Rules have to be respected, even when you are a tourist, but it doesnt sound like a great sense of hospitality to fine people in such way on Canada day?

Once was a nice place but new boat launch policy wrecked that for me. Had a trailer parked on a site. Paid for a dock. That change for me this year because I'm not paying $100 to park a vehical to launch a boat. To the city of Collingwood. Yes this will help connection. But to what degree. You see you lost all my business. Places will suffer. Boat launches will not see there usual revenue. As well nor will marine repair/sleeping accommodation /restraints/food truck/retail store/money raised from ticket infractions etc...... Still have to pay water police and coast guard bylaw officers ,city workers etc.. As to your problem with congestion you nailed it. For the short time I was in your city how ever noticed harbour was empty. Not one car or person other than the payed worker. Parking lot empty. No revenue. Nailed it. I use to pay my $50 to town harbour and visit 2 to 3 times a year. Use to have a trailer there at $3000 per year. Why did you not maintain a max capacity at harbour parking lot. Post not parking signs with a ridiculous tow bill out side said parking lots to control congestion. Bylaw and towing would make money. Harbour would have a full lot even if they charged $30 to park. Good luck Collingwood hope this works for you and your people. You have lost this family's revenue. But on each side of you they welcomed ower new found business.
