After thirty-three years of teaching, Norma Collis and her husband, David, launched their second career when they opened Holly Cottage B&B in 2001. In addition to being on call 24/7 with their business, Norma was involved in the Woodford Community Centre and the Meaford Scarecrow Invasion, as well as other community initiatives. Now fully retired to her hometown of Tillsonburg, Ontario, Norma and David continue to be involved in the community and enjoy small-town life.
