Santa Claus Parade
2022-11-19 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Toronto) | Collingwood Downtown
Downtown Collingwood is once again pleased to present Collingwood’s Annual Santa Claus Parade. As in previous years, the parade will be held in the early evening to capture all the magic of our downtown holiday lights. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 19, beginning at 5 p.m., and plan to join the fun!
The theme of this year’s parade is ‘Christmas through the Eyes of a Child’… remembering the special feeling that the holiday season brought to you as a child … when everything seemed bigger, brighter and almost magical.
This year’s parade will be part of a fun-filled day in Downtown Collingwood as we officially launch the holiday season. Enjoy the many merchant Open Houses … carolers on the street…. strolling entertainers … plus lots more, including the traditional “lighting” of the town Christmas Tree.
Now is the time to register your float with the committee. There is no entry fee for community groups and non-profit organizations. The commercial entry fee is just $50.00.
Another great way to get involved in the parade is through your financial support. We want to make this year’s edition of the Santa Claus Parade bigger and better than ever. We encourage every business to consider becoming involved… it’s a great way to promote your business as you assist in staging this important community tradition.
Complete details about the Santa Claus Parade are now available on the Collingwood Downtown website, at www.collingwooddowntown.com, or you may call 445 5595 for further information.

Thornbury Jazzworks
2022-10-22 18:30 - 19:00 | Thornbury Library, 173 Bruce St S, Thornbury, ON, N0H2P0

The History of Thornbury Jazzworks

Tony with Dean Hollins at one of our concerts!
Back in the spring of 2015 a group of local musicians decided to have a “jam session” as a birthday gift to Tony Bauer, a local musician himself and a great supporter of music and musicians in the area. Tony decided to share his special gift with friends in the community and invited them to listen in.
On March 19th of that year, at the L.E.Shore library, three of these musicians shared a night of jazz with some 40 of Tony’s friends. That same night a small group of supporters convinced Tony that nights like this should continue and so was born THORNBURY JAZZWORKS.
The first year saw 3 evenings in the spring and another 3 in the fall featuring local musicians such as Don Buchanan, Mike Grace, Russ Little and David Woods on instruments as diverse as Harp, Flute, Keyboard, Bass, and Drums. Sessions now include as few as two to as many as twelve musicians on stage and have had to move, at times, between the intimacy of the library room to the much larger hall at Marsh Street Centre.
We’ve expanded our events to ten a year and many more musicians have joined us including Andy Harasymczuk. Drew Jurecka, Mike Lewis, Dave Young, Robert Horvath, as well as our own Dean Hollin.
We also extend Thanks to our sponsors and supporters who help make our Friday evenings such a great success. Also a big thanks to all the volunteers that help make these events happen (the setup and take down crews, the volunteers that take the tickets and arrange the food on the tables) – without each of them the events wouldn’t be possible.
With your support, interest and attendance we hope to keep bringing these musicians to you for many more years.

Blue Mountain - Meet the candidates
2022-10-17 08:00 - 17:00 | LE SHORE LIBRARY, 173 Bruce Street S, Thornbury, ON
Voters in the Town of The Blue Mountains have the chance to get up close and personal with their council candidates over the next few weeks.
Climate Action Now Network, Blue Mountain Ratepayers’ Association, Blue Mountain Village Association and Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce have combined efforts to schedule a meet the candidates series over the next several Monday nights at the L.E. Shore Library in Thornbury. In The Blue Mountains, there is a four-way race for Mayor and seven candidates for five council seats. Deputy Mayor Peter Bordignon was acclaimed. The first meeting of the series will be held on Monday, August 29.
Climate Action Now Network member Rosemary Gosselin said the format was popular four years ago and they decided to continue.
“This idea of doing these sessions came from the community. People loved the format. It was informal and we had a great moderator,” she said. “One woman said she had never felt like she really knew who she was voting for before and that was really telling.”
Residents attending the sessions will have a chance to ask questions in a respectful and informative environment, which will provide the opportunity for voters to get to know their candidates.
Veteran CBC journalist Christopher Thomas will moderate the sessions.
“Bless his heart, we’ve hauled him out of retirement. We enticed him out,” Gosselin said.
Gosselin stressed the sessions will be entirely resident- and voter-driven.
“I want it to be clear that this is for the community. This is not for our groups. We will not be the ones asking the questions. The questions will come from the floor,” she said.
Gosselin said all but three candidates running for council in The Blue Mountains have confirmed participation and she is hoping to hear from the others soon. The plan is to feature two candidates per session.
Six sessions have been scheduled at L.E. Shore Library (173 Bruce Street, South).
