9 CAMPUSES AND COMMUNITIES | GeorgianCollege.ca Barrie Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/barrie The key to this waterfront city's beauty lies not only in its beaches along Kempenfelt Bay, but in its central location with access to recreational opportunities throughout Simcoe County. World-class biking and ski trails, water sports, downhill adventures, and boating opportunities are waiting for you within the city limits or only a short distance away. Although it boasts big-city amenities, Barrie still exudes the warmth of a small town. A robust nightlife in the downtown core, complemented by trendy restaurants and a strong arts and culture presence, makes it a popular hotspot for residents and visitors. And, if Toronto calls to you, it's only a short GO train trip or drive away. Barrie is home to our main campus, as well as the Arch and Helen Brown Design and Digital Arts Centre downtown. CAMPUSES AND COMMUNITIES Orillia Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/orillia Known as the "Sunshine City," Orillia borders three lakes, with several nearby provincial parks and the historic Trent-Severn Waterway to offer an abundance of beaches, camping opportunities and trails. Want to hit the slopes after class? The hills at Mount St. Louis Moonstone or Horseshoe Resort are just minutes away. The city is also home to two postsecondary campuses (Georgian and Lakehead University), a vibrant arts scene, and a dynamic downtown core with trendy bars, restaurants and shops. Owen Sound Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/owensound Located on an inlet of Georgian Bay, scenic Owen Sound offers beautiful vistas and waterfalls – many that can be seen from the Bruce trail system (Canada's oldest and longest foot path) that winds through the area. The city is also home to many museums, cultural attractions and festivals, as well as a vibrant downtown and harbour where you'll find your favourite places to dine and enjoy good times with friends. Robbert Hartog Midland Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/midland Our Midland Campus is centrally located to all things fun on Georgian Bay. Boating, paddling, fishing and swimming are the highlight in spring, summer and fall, and if you love winter, you'll appreciate the area's trails, rinks and carnivals. The region is home to many parks, public beaches, lively eateries and unique stores too! Close proximity to Penetanguishene means the area benefits from a rich French culture, as well. Love nature? The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre offers a wild escape from your studies. Muskoka Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/muskoka Known as much for the rich and famous who flock to their lakeside cottages in the summer as it is for its accessible four-season activities, Muskoka has a lot to offer...everyone! The region is home to 1,600 lakes, and Bracebridge, where our campus is located, flanks the bank of the Muskoka River, which is navigated by thousands of boaters and paddlers each year. The region has a lively music and arts scene, first-class restaurants, and seven craft breweries! Orangeville Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/orangeville A charming lakeside community, Orangeville revels in its vibrant arts and culture scene and award-winning historic downtown. Take time out of your studies to discover the town's impressive collection of galleries and public art displays, including over 50 tree sculptures. Or, view the town from your kayak while exploring the Island Lake Conservation Area. John Di Poce South Georgian Bay Campus GeorgianCollege.ca/southgeorgianbay Situated between the ski hills of Blue Mountain and the shores of Georgian Bay, with an abundance of trails throughout, our South Georgian Bay Campus in Collingwood is positioned deep within a recreational paradise that attracts world-class sporting events and inspires a vibrant community. If great restaurants, craft beer and cider, or visiting a winery is your thing, there's plenty of that too.
