Colliers is my hometown and it is located in beautiful
Conception Bay on the Avalon Peninsula of the island portion of Newfoundland
and Labrador, Canada. The town is situated on the coast approximately 45
miles from the provincial capital city of St. John's.
During the summer of 1997 we celebrated our Town's "Come
Home Year"
and hopefully everyone who attended had a "grand time".
