The meeting will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Simcoe Street Theatre.
During the meeting, the town’s consulting landscape architect will present an overview of the proposed design for the public land, and project representatives will be available to answer questions and collect feedback. Visual boards displaying the design will also be available for public review.
For those unable to attend in person, a recorded presentation and an online survey will be available on the Terminals Point Engage Page following the meeting.

On June 17th, following a presentation(External link) by Staff, Council approved the Town project team to execute the Definitive Documents with Streetcar & Dream (Grain Terminals Revitalization Inc.).
Definitive Documents is a required next step for the continued evolution of the Terminals Point Project and in achieving the goals that were previously established at the outset of this procurement. The Definitive Documents provide the legal framework for all aspects of the collaboration and are based on the previously executed Memorandum of Understanding.
The project was renamed earlier this year to highlight that this is not just the revitalization of the Grain Terminals but the “reimagination and invigoration” of the Spit as a whole, introducing new public spaces while enhancing existing amenities. This rebranding also highlights the partnership between the Town and Streetcar & Dream.
Terminals Point aligns with the well-established Lighthouse Point and Sunset Point Beach along Collingwood’s shoreline. This name fuses historical importance, the iconic Terminals building, and the scenery of Georgian Bay. It encapsulates the essence of Collingwood, offering a window into its history while embracing a promising future.
By designating this area as a Point, where land and water converge, it becomes a community and cultural focal point, and a destination that beckons all to explore and enjoy the unique blend of heritage, innovation, and natural beauty that Collingwood proudly offers.
