The Town of Caledon must do the same,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “We need to be a municipality that is efficient and brings value to every taxpayer. We need businesses to thrive and grow, and new ones to come and invest. Council is pleased that the CAO is putting in a new structure that will support our success.” For more information, please visit Caledon.ca.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2020-11-05 10:28:26 Post date GMT: 2020-11-05 15:28:26 Post modified date: 2020-11-05 10:28:30 Post modified date GMT: 2020-11-05 15:28:30 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
