Add a bypass to Caledon Village

Through the James Dick Pitt any gravel trucks travelling either east on Charleston to go south on Hwy 10, or North on Hwy 10 go through the James Dick pit and meet up to Charleston.

Services for Seniors

In the new Official Plan because of the large aging community, there should be a specific designation on lands reflecting various options available to seniors, from independent living to various forms of assisted living. These designations should be close to existing services and to easy access to public transportation. An example for a “senior’s hub” would be in the proximity of Caledon’s City Hall or similar áreas having a cluster of services.

Less dump trucks and no more quarries!

Close all the quarries and support the local special environment that is Caledon. Too few people in Caledon realize how precious and special this area is.

More protections for natural land features

There should be joined conservation lands and Caledon could become a destination for environmental tourism. Birders, hikers, cyclists…. Need to invest in buying lands and setting them aside for this.

Have an arch at the entrance of the village to allow people driving in to fully realize that they are entering a village

People might slow down as they are passing the arch as they would feel like they are entering a village rather than being on a highway.

increase if garbage bins in public used areas. For example in behind Mccardy Court stormwater ponds trail is littered - it gets really bad

All buildings Net Zero by 2025?

We are not being ambitious enough. Need targets and requirements to move the needle on energy consumption and pollution. Make it a requirement for all new buildings to be LEED certified. Existing Building retrofits to get to Net Zero - partner with local businesses - determine how to get there and establish design/ manufacturing in Caledon to lead regional program.

Gymnasium in Southfields community centre

The multi purpose room is not a gymnasium. The centre has a large lobby space, and empty meeting rooms evenings and weekends. Facility usage stats should be taken as, badminton, pickball, always meet’s capacity in that multipurpose room (which isn’t even an appropriate room to play in) we need a space for after school and weekend sports and gymnasium activities. Sad it’s all dead space and not being used. Please re-visit and re-purposing the space to build a gymnasium in that centre that would actually meet the needs of the community.
