Last summer, the Society launched a massive $3 million capital campaign in support of this goal.  The Caledon Fairgrounds is home to the annual Caledon Canada Day and Strawberry Festival and Caledon Fair. The first Caledon Fair was held in 1860. Caledon Agricultural Society president Ed Taccone said facility upgrades at the Caledon Fairgrounds, combined with its great location, will make it a popular event destination. “We are planning for future generations and want to ensure the needs of our ever-growing community are met with quality facilities and abundant opportunities,” said Taccone. “We believe this legacy community project will create so many benefits throughout Caledon, and we are so appreciative of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley and the Humeniuk family's generosity in helping it become a reality.” Chris Humeniuk, president of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, said the course is proud to have called Caledon home for over 30 years.  “The Caledon Agricultural Society's ambitious plan to improve and expand offerings for community events at the fairgrounds site is admirable and important, and we are pleased to play a role in helping this plan become a reality,” said Humeniuk. The new community centre at the Caledon Fairgrounds is planned to be 15,000 square feet in size and feature a 6,000 square foot banquet hall and multi-purpose space. Also planned is a commercial kitchen with walk-in storage, refrigeration, and a bar area; accessible washrooms; two large garage-style doors for equipment access; and office space for the Caledon Agricultural Society's administration team. Former Caledon mayor Allan Thompson is part of the Society's fundraising committee and said TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley and the Humeniuk family's donation is a commendable example of giving back and supporting a worthy cause.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2025-01-30 11:45:57 Post date GMT: 2025-01-30 16:45:57 Post modified date: 2025-01-30 11:46:02 Post modified date GMT: 2025-01-30 16:46:02 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
