Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School is an English Catholic secondary school located in Collingwood, Ontario. It is under administration by the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. The school has about 470 students enrolled from Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and Clearview Township.[1] The school is located at 160 Collins Street, Collingwood, Ontario, L9Y 4R1, Canada.[2] The current principal is Kerri Parent.[3]

The school was formerly named Jean Vanier Catholic High School, in honour of Jean Vanier, a Canadian Catholic philosopher known for helping those with developmental disabilities. However, it was renamed in 2020 shortly after reports came out revealing his involvement in abusive sexual relationships.[4]

The school offers numerous sports programs, such as alpine skiing and track and field. The school's team name is the OLB Hurricanes.
