Caledon’s recent public survey regarding the 2025 budget clearly shows community safety and maintaining essential infrastructure are top of mind for residents.
The top priorities identified by the public going into next year’s budget cycle include fire and emergency services, road operations, municipal law enforcement and parks, recreation and community services.
“On behalf of council, I want to personally thank everyone who participated in this survey. Your input is invaluable in ensuring that the decisions we make as a Council put the needs and desires of the people of Caledon first,” commented Mayor Annette Groves in a press release. “This feedback is critical as we head into budget discussions and make decisions to invest in our community,” she added.
The town explained the feedback provided by residents will guide staff and council as they continue to develop the 2025 budget in the coming weeks.
On Oct. 22, council approved scheduling a budget meeting for Monday, Nov. 25. It serves as a primer to identify the needs and pressures the town faces in the coming fiscal year.
“The feedback we received gives us clear direction on where residents want to see their tax dollars invested, and it helps us prioritize spending while maintaining fiscal responsibility,” said Robert Cummings, Commissioner of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. “Thank you again for your input and for helping build Caledon’s future.”
