Located at the entrance to Collingwood’s historic shipbuilding Heritage District, Saga - Lighthouse Gateway is a sculptural tribute to the town’s maritime legacy. Inspired by the silhouettes of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Nahma, the twin structures feature engraved motifs that echo details from historic vessels. The title Saga, from the Ojibwe word meaning “at the mouth,” references both the Nottawasaga River and the region’s enduring stories. Framing a passageway, the artwork invites reflection on Collingwood’s past and ongoing journey.
