It is named for the Blue Mountain, and hence the economy of the town is centred on tourism, particularly on the Blue Mountain ski resort and the private Georgian Peaks, Osler, Craigleith and Alpine Ski Clubs. The town was formed on January 1, 2001, when the Town of Thornbury was amalgamated with the Township of Collingwood. Thornbury is home to the architecturally unique L.E. Shore Memorial Library, named after the founding partner of the architectural practice of Shore Tilbe Irwin + Partners, and designed by the firm. During the Southern Ontario Tornado Outbreak of 2009, a tornado passed through the Blue Mountains area on August 20. The F2 tornado passed by Thornbury and hit Craigleith before moving out onto Georgian Bay. Ravenna is the setting for the novel Ravenna Gets by author Tony Burgess.[1] RecreationThe Blue Mountains has a host recreational activities for all the seasons. Most notably is the winter Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowshoeing and Cross-country Skiing. In the summer there is hiking, downhill/cross-country biking, an extravagant mini putt,[2] the Ridge Runner[3] and events such as Met Con Blue.[4] If physical activities are not what you are looking for, The Village at Blue Mountain[5] has a plethora of boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and chalets, as well as golf courses within walking distance. Less than a 5-minute drive away there is the Scandinave Spa[6] which situated on 25 acres of natural Ontario birch, as well as the Scenic Caves[7] for those who want to experience a different kind of adventure. Craigleith Provincial Park is located along Highway 26 near Blue Mountain resort. The Bruce Trail passes through sections of the town. The Kolapore area for mountain biking and cross-country skiing, Metcalfe Rock which is popular with rock climbers as well as the Duncan Crevice Caves Nature Reserve are in the area as well. CommunitiesThe primary population centre is Thornbury. Additionally the town's territory also includes the communities of Banks, Camperdown, Castle Glen Estates, Christie Beach, Clarksburg, Craigleith, Duncan, Gibraltar, Swiss Meadows, Heathcote, Kolapore, Little Germany, Lora Bay, Loree, Ravenna, Red Wing, Slabtown, and Victoria Corners. ThornburyThornbury was first incorporated in 1831 and divided from Collingwood Township in 1887 as a separate administration.[8] This existed until 2001 when it remerged with Collingwood Township to form The Blue Mountains municipality. The town was a shipping and processing centre for local agricultural produce especially apples through its harbour on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron. A small fishing fleet operated from the harbour. The coming of the railroad in 1855 further expanded trade and made the town a desirable summer resort for the wealthy from Toronto. Many large late nineteenth century houses on tree lined streets characterize the town suburbs.[9] Thornbury is home to the architecturally unique L.E. Shore Memorial Library, built in 1995 and named after the founding partner of the architectural practice of Shore Tilbe Irwin + Partners who designed it.[10] Demographics{{Canada census|2011_population=6453 | 2011_pop_delta=-5.5 | 2011_land_area=287.23 | 2011_pop_density=22.5 |2011_median_age= | 2011_median_age_m= | 2011_median_age_f= |2011_total_pvt_dwell=6200 | 2011_mean_hh_income= | 2011_access_date=2012-03-15 |2006_population=6825 | 2006_pop_delta=11.6 | 2006_land_area=286.78 | 2006_pop_density=23.8 |2006_median_age=50.6 | 2006_median_age_m=50.1 | 2006_median_age_f=51.0 |2006_total_pvt_dwell=5619 | 2006_mean_hh_income=59,061 | 2006_access_date=2012-03-15 |2001_population=6116 | 2001_pop_delta=7.9 | 2001_land_area=286.77 | 2001_pop_density=21.3 |2001_median_age=47.4 | 2001_median_age_m=47.1 | 2001_median_age_f=47.7 |2001_total_pvt_dwell=5374 | 2001_mean_hh_income=47,809 | 2001_access_date=2012-03-15 |2016_population=7025|2016_pop_delta=8.9}} Population trend:[11]
