According to a Town of Caledon media release, Holmes has over 28 years of experience in the municipal sector and most recently worked for the City of Mississauga where he was responsible for the administration and supervision of city works yards, signs and pavements, maintenance and operations. 

“His extensive knowledge and leadership skills will play a pivotal role in driving Caledon forward,” said the Town.

Caledon's Commissioner of Engineering, Public Works and Transportation Domenica D'Amico said she's pleased to welcome Holmes to the Town's team.
