The Town of Collingwood has officially authorized the purchase of land at 14 Teskey Court to create a new trail connection between Findlay Drive and Teskey Court. The town announced the acquisition on May 11, 2026, as part of its ongoing efforts to improve local walking and cycling infrastructure.

This project follows recommendations outlined in the town’s Cycling Plan and Active Transportation Framework. These planning documents previously identified the area near Findlay Drive and Clark Street as a priority corridor for better cycling access. The new trail link aims to help residents move safely throughout the community, supporting the town’s existing network of over 60 kilometers of recreational trails.

The acquisition aligns with current municipal priorities, which include expanded funding for trail maintenance and the development of a broader Parks and Trails Master Plan. These investments were included in the 2026 Municipal Budget, which aims to enhance public access to active transportation options.

The Trails and Active Transportation Advisory Committee continues to provide input on these developments. Residents who have questions about the land acquisition can contact the Clerk’s Department by email at [email protected] or by calling 705-445-1030.
