“One of our key goals is to foster the creativity of local youth through innovative programming,” Caledon Public Library Board Chair Janet Manning commented. “The Artful Caledon project will provide time and space for our budding artists to create and display their work.”
“We are proud to partner with the Frank Cowan Company and their Home Town Program,” Secure Insurance Solutions Group Inc.
