Actions
From hiking programs, school gardens, and trail improvements to initiatives that improve peoples’ experiences in the local hospital, Collingwood150 is about profiling these projects. By submitting a Project to the Collingwood150 website, leaders can promote and celebrate their projects as well as invite the broader community to participate and collaborate.
Submitted projects can be dreams, in the early stages of planning, in the process of being implemented or recent accomplishments.
