Our Story
Escarpment® Magazine has travelled an interesting road over its first three decades. Several name changes have occurred and the personality has matured, becoming far more sophisticated, growing in size and scope with increased readership and appeal. Gerry Baker was the founder of ‘The Collingwood Condo’ back in 1987. It was a small, 8 page, black and white, monthly periodical with a friendly, personal feel that was intended to keep readers in the know about everything that was going on up here in “Ski Country. It was the first of its kind in the region and was mailed directly to the city homes of Private Ski Club members who had second residences here. In 1989 when illness took Gerry’s life, his wife Joanne bravely kept it in the family, took the reins and ran the business successfully for the next 8 years, and eventually sold the business to Deena Dolan Findlay. Today, Georgian Bay Living – Escarpment® Magazine Inc. owns a reputation as one of the top publications in the region. The Escarpment® team, led by Publisher Clay Dolan have continued to capture the hearts of locals, visitors and part-time residents by constantly producing a publication stamped with unmatched style.
