Annie didja know your community has a website?
http://www.town.collingwood.on.ca/index.cfm
I didn't see anything in particular, but you could call perhaps the town hall who
has property records and have them research it. Maybe the liberry has something.
But first check the survey for your home. Mine is listed there.
Anyone else can check our FAQ which *used to* have a USA link to check elevations
as well as some recipes.. Here's one I found:

http://erg.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/booklet.../elvadist.html

I did find a Canadian site, but didn't check it out cause it wanted to download a
pile of stuff. Purports to have elevations for Canada.
