Talk of the Town by Mayor Allan Thompson — Let’s work together to make Caledon a great place

February 16, 2015 · 0 Comments

Welcome to the first edition of Talk of the Town.
This monthly column will feature Town news, events and issues that affect you and the neighbourhoods you live with in here in Caledon.
During the campaign, you, our residents and business owners, shared with me and all candidates the things that matter most to you. Something I heard over and over was that Caledon is a great place to call home.
Based on what I heard, I set my priorities to work with my council colleagues in addressing them. They include developing a citizen-centred approach to service delivery; creating intelligent communities that would see town-wide access to high speed internet; and enhanced communications and community engagement opportunities.
Another key commitment I made was to business development and retention. We are exploring some exciting initiatives to help with this. I invite our business community to join me for my first Mayor’s Business Breakfast April 8. More information on this event will follow.
At this time, Town staff and council are working hard to ensure that we deliver a thoughtful and responsible budget for 2015. All members of the public are welcome to attend our council meetings and I hope to hear from you throughout the year on the budget and other important matters.
Caledon is a great place to call home — it can also be a great place to work, to play and to shop. Let’s work together at creating a healthy, vibrant Caledon.
