Effective February 16, 2021, we are re-opening our ReStore location at 155 Sandford Fleming Drive in Collingwood. We are currently under Grey Zone Lockdown measures – which means operating at 25% capacity – in addition to all the increased safety measures in place to serve you safely. We look forward to seeing you back in store!

(Tuesday, March 17, 2020/5:00PM EST)—With ever changing developments regarding COVID-19, we’d like to provide our supporters, volunteers, shoppers, donors and stakeholders with an update regarding our current action and response to COVID-19 (“novel coronavirus”).

After careful deliberation and consideration, Habitat for Humanity South Georgian Bay made the decision to close the Collingwood ReStore and the Habitat office to the public for now.

The health, safety and well-being of our staff, customers, volunteers, supporters and homeowners is Habitat South Georgian Bay’s top priority.

To reach us, please contact Joy Fleury, Executive Director, at Joy@habitatgeorgianbay.ca

We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will provide ongoing updates, as needed. We will also continue to post updates to our social media accounts:

…and to our website.
