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.
The good news was followed up
quickly by UPS, which announced its
own $200 million sorting facility in
Caledon, its largest investment of this
kind in Canada.
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.
