JANUARY 2019 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA 5 In July, Amazon announced it would build a 1-million square foot fulfillment centre that will create more than 800 full-time jobs, a huge boost to the local economy that will bolster Cale- don's future sustainability.

One of the reasons businesses are attracted to Caledon is our quality of life, Thompson says. “Our schools rank above the provincial average, we’re a safe community and we’re well-known as an outdoor recreation destination,” Thompson says. New Community Centre in Southfields To support and maintain this qual- ity of life, Caledon is building a new community centre near the Highway 410 / Mayfield Road interchange and expanding a two-pad complex in the village of Caledon East. “The new community centre in South- fields is the centrepiece of the growing Mayfield West community,” Thomp- son says.
