Butchers, Bakers and Building the Lakers:
Voices of Collingwood
The history of a place lives in its people. Heritage—both family and community—is being rediscovered as a treasure beyond price. We seek out our roots to find a sense of belonging and discover that we, too, occupy a place in history. Butchers, Bakers and Building the Lakers: Voices of Collingwood shares intriguing facts and stories told by the many Collingwood residents whom Christine met and interviewed over a two-year period. Backed by the author’s thorough historical research, it also incorporates personal accounts dating from the 1850s and includes hundreds of photographs from private collections, connecting readers in a uniquely warm and personal way with the author and storytellers past and present.
