1,700 companies call Caledon home
and some of those like Husky Injec-
tion Molding Systems, Mars Canada,
and Sardo Foods are doing well on
the world stage.”
What makes Caledon unique is
that, despite its rapid growth it has
managed to maintain its distinc-
tive rural/urban charm. “As Caledon
grows, we’re confident that we’ve
achieved a balance that will continue
to support this rural and small village
feel,” Thompson says.
This combination of shovel-ready
employment lands and enviable
quality of make Caledon a desirable
destination.
“Much of our land base is protected by
provincial legislation, from the Green-
belt and Niagara Escarpment to the
Oak Ridges Moraine,” Thompson says.
“Of the remaining developable land,
we have carefully targeted growth in
three areas (Bolton, Caledon East and
Mayfield West) to balance commer-
cial/industrial and residential…and
preserve that rural/urban mix that
makes Caledon what it is.”
