This was an exciting year for celebrating Canada's birthday in Historic Downtown Collingwood. For the first time in over a century, visitors to the revitalized downtown district were be able to walk all the way along the waterfront at the foot of Hurontario Street.
All celebrations were held throughout the downtown district including entertainment at the new waterfront amphitheatre in the Shipyards. People enjoyed entertainment on the streets and took part in the Citizen Reaffirmation Ceremony followed by the cutting of a huge Canada Day birthday cake. There were activities for the children, sidewalk sales, an outdoor fashion show and fireworks at the waterfront.
