The Town of Caledon is recognizing 18 citizens for their dedication to their community in 2021, as part of its annual Community Recognition initiative.
“It’s more important than ever before that we recognize and celebrate the tremendous contributions of extraordinary residents and volunteers who help build and enrich our community in their own special way,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “Our Community Champions for 2021 are all of our incredible front-line workers who have given and sacrificed so much, they continue to make us #Caledonproud.”
