About the Ebook
This four-season community, with a population of 19,500, attracts visitors from all over the world because of its proximity to southern Georgian Bay and closeness to the Blue Mountain Resorts.
Collingwood has 50 kilometres of walking/bicycling trails, many of those hug the waterfront and offer splendid views of Georgian Bay. Another 10 kilometres, or so, follow an abandoned railway line bed southeast to nearby Stayner, Ont., and 32 kilometres of trail run to the west connecting Collingwood to Meaford. the westerly trail is known as the Georgian Trail.
All of these trails are free for anybody to use and motorized vehicles are not allowed on them.
George Czerny's book "Collingwood's Walk of History" whets one's appetite for walking, or riding, the trails. It does so with a general look at Collingwood's trails and a specific focus on the Collingwood harbour area, where the Collingwood Shipyards once provided employment as the area's economic engine for 103 years. Czerny provides readers with insightful text and brilliant photographs that should encourage readers to visit Collingwood at any time of year.

About the Creator
George Czerny-Holownia has been writing for more than four decades under the name George Czerny. He spent almost 30 years in the newspaper business, starting as a reporter/photographer and then taking on any challenges thrown at him in a newsroom. He moved on from being managing editor of a daily newspaper to becoming the publisher and general manager of the then-weekly newspaper, The Enterprise-Bulletin in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. A 14-year stint at the helm of this community newspaper put him in close proximity with small-town community life and the then-busy (but now closed) Collingwood Shipyards about which he has written. Mr. Czerny married Nancy in 1968. They live in Collingwood, Ontario. George and Nancy have two sons, Stephen and Douglas, and five grandchildren to whom The Collingwood Shipyards book is dedicated. George has published four books using the Blurb system and enjoys boating in his spare time.
