Caledon Budget 2023

There is an opportunity to provide her input about Victoria Park through the community engagement for the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan process in 2023. A new webpage for this project is scheduled to be launched in February and public open house for each ward is being scheduled in March. Residents will be able to receive information and provide their input directly on the webpage and by attending the public open house.

Staff has revised the proposed park layout for Southfields Community Park based on the input received through community engagement on Have Your Say Caledon (HYSC) and a revised plan will be posted on HYSC along with the survey results in February 2023. Parks staff are considering including a raised crosswalk as part of the construction of the park due to potential increase in pedestrian activity at the intersection of Sparrowbrook and Dotchson. In addition to the raised crosswalk, Engineering Services will run an All-Way stop warrant analysis for the intersection of Sparrowbrook and Dotchson and assess the speeding along the road.

For 2023, the interim tax bill will be sent out in February 2023 and the final tax bill will be sent out in June 2023.

Thank you for the follow up question. There are many Region of Peel Roads in Caledon used for travel by neighboring cities. The Town fill by-law fee is a Town of Caledon charge for town local services and roads to recover costs. The tipping fee is a Region of Peel facility service charge.   Your question may be referring to the heavy truck use fee.  There are two fees associated with this approval, a load fee (which is a Council approved calculation in the fees bylaw).  This amount is placed in a reserve fund because heavy truck use lessens the lifespan of the town road and these funds assist with major repairs or earlier reconstruction costs.  The second fee is securities.  This amount is based on the total number of anticipated loads.  This amount is held until heavy truck use is completed and road is inspected.  If no damages occur as a direct result from the heavy truck use, then securities are returned to the applicant in full.  If road damage has occurred, the Town draws on the securities for repairs and returns any balance left.  

Thank you for the feedback. We will share the interest in more after business hours enforcement.

Questions can be posted here and additionally Budget deliberations are scheduled for February 14  at 2:30 p.m. https://haveyoursaycaledon.ca/caledon-budget-2023/widgets/136318/key_dates#41357

Thank you for your question. The by-law is to protect natural features, prevent fill with hazardous materials and manage how residents are affected.
