A real gem..owned by same family for 75 years. The Gayety Theatre was opened in 1911 as a movie theatre. Dickinson’s purchased theatre in 2003, after extensive renovations it has become a center piece to the downtown core in the town of Collingwood and presents mainly concerts by tribute bands on its stage.
The first theatre north of Toronto to show talking movies, have saved the original screen that had been painted on the back wall. The Ontario Historic board held in annual meeting at the Gayety Theatre in 2008 and were in praise of the renovations that has given this old lady a new life.

The Gayety web site is: gaetytheatre.com. There is a brief history given, but no photos. There is promotion for the latest attractions. I have two vintage postcards showing the Gayety. The vertical sign is the largest sign on the street.
From the 1940s a postcard image of the Gayety in Collingwood.
