The opening of the Bruce Trail at Meltwater Moraine was celebrated on Sunday and members of the greater Caledon Hills community in attendance BTC staff ecologists led guests on a 3km hike sharing information about the landscape and species at risk found on the property The event concluded with thanks to the supporters and volunteers who helped bring this land into the BTC's ribbon of wilderness.  "The addition of Meltwater Moraine to our conservation corridor is a big win for nature and the growing community of Caledon," said Marsha Russell "This is just one more example of what is possible when we work together in service of the environment and the community." For over 60 years the Bruce Trail Conservancy has been the only charitable organization working to preserve sensitive Escarpment lands while making them accessible for the people of Ontario by way of the Bruce Trail only 71.9% of the Bruce Trail is on permanently protected land The BTC forecasts that it will take approximately $109 million to completely secure the Bruce Trail the BTC is incredibly grateful to the landowners in the Caledon area and across the Niagara Escarpment who graciously allow the Trail to cross their property Without handshake agreements with generous landowners the continuity of the Bruce Trail would be in jeopardy The Bruce Trail Conservancy is one of Ontario's largest land trusts that secures protects and restores the vulnerable habitat and biodiversity of the UNESCO Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere For more than 60 years we have responsibly connected people to nature through the Bruce Trail charitable organization governed by a 19-member Board of Directors Working with each of the nine Bruce Trail Clubs we are committed to caring for the Bruce Trail and to preserving land along its route The Bruce Trail Conservancy is a leading Canadian environmental charity and has been named one of the Top 100 Charities in Canada by Charity Intelligence Bruce Trail Conservancy staff members and ecologists are available for interviews upon request Media Contact: Ali Schofield, Manager of Communications, Bruce Trail Conservancy, [email protected] | 905.529.6821 ext. 252 Do not sell or share my personal information: Join the conversation You can save this article by registering for free here.

budget Here is a list of when and where the community consultations on traffic safety in Caledon will take place this May and June Caledon is hosting a series of meetings to hear about residents’ traffic safety concerns and to provide information about ongoing improvements In a Facebook post Mayor Annette Groves shared locations and dates of five spring meetings in May and June which will be attended by Region of Peel and town staff as well as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) times and locations of the community consultations are as follows: Last October, Caledon council declared a road safety emergency in response to a rising number of collisions The declaration urged the province to raise all Highway Traffic Act penalties and fines give municipalities the permission to use automated speed enforcement (ASE) beyond community safety zones and launch a provincewide road and traffic safety education program This was followed by two community meetings on traffic safety Groves said she wanted residents to know council was listening to them and would be there to “support them in every way that we can.” Council also approved the addition of four more ASE cameras as part of the 2025 budget which will double the town’s current number to eight by the end of the year The mayor is encouraging residents to have their say at the spring meetings “This is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn about ongoing improvements Hope to see you there,” she said in her Facebook post Brampton North—Caledon 2025 federal election live results.

Read our story here to find out why “I’m thrilled,” Seeback told a room of supporters at Mount Alverno Luxury Resorts in Caledon Village his team and the voters of Dufferin-Caledon for their support while saying he’s always dreamed of getting over 50 per cent in an election “This has been a tough election and we’ve really done a great job here,” he said all of you who’ve worked so hard on my campaign building houses and the economy will be his top priorities The result was no surprise with 338Canada (a statistical model of electoral projections based on opinion polls electoral history and demographic data) forecasting Seeback’s win throughout the campaign Support for the incumbent Conservative MP has grown in successive elections, from 42 per cent (28,852) in 2019 to 48 per cent (31,490) in 2021 and now 60 per cent in 2025 The Dufferin-Caledon federal riding has remained blue since 2004, when David Tilson (Seeback’s predecessor) was elected MP who was prepared both for victory and defeat “I will go back to my job in the aerospace company and I will continue to help families… and yes I am thinking about running next time,” Halimi told the Caledon Enterprise prior to election day Halimi said her party received a lot of support on the campaign trail as several residents wanted a change in representation at the federal level Halimi also expressed her commitment to continue helping food banks which her family initially depended on when they immigrated to Canada NDP candidate Viktor Karklins was both “thrilled” and “honoured” to be part of this election “…I truly learned so much and got to know so many wonderful people I’m thankful for the experience and to have been able to speak up for causes I care so deeply about,” Karklins said in an emailed statement on Monday afternoon Green Party candidate Ifra Baig said the 2025 federal election was the start of her political journey This is only the beginning,” Baig said in a statement to the Caledon Enterprise The Green candidate said the support she received on the campaign trail has strengthened “my commitment” to political work “I’m taking this momentum and building on it because representation matters and I want to keep showing up for people who need someone in their corner My political journey is just getting started,” she wrote prior to election day Full results from across Peel Region here EDITOR’S NOTE - April 29 (5:37 p.m.): this story has been updated with the final unofficial voting results Photo above (credit Dan O’Reilly): Resident Erica McNiece addressing the planning and development committee-public meeting at Caledon Town Hall will be familiar with the slogan “No Taxation without Representation.” It was the rallying cry which galvanized the (white) inhabitants of the original 13 colonies to launch a successful revolution against the British which a rallying crying is needed against arbitrary measures that many fear There is the very real possibility that Town council will drastically alter the method in which its two regional councillors are elected beginning with the October 2026 municipal election As it stands now Caledon has a ward system represent Caledon at Peel Regional Council – are elected by residents of their respective wards But this system could be scrapped if council approves what is known as Option One the ward method would be replaced with a general or at-large system In an at-large system all town residents would vote for both councillors of rural residents – and large chunks of Caledon are rural – could be overlooked be paying taxes with little or no representation The largest blocks of voters in Caledon are in urban areas Hence there is a strong probability that urban issues would dominate the political agenda The at-large regional councillors could be too overwhelmed and overworked to address rural concerns A glaring example of what is stake was on display at an April 15th planning and development public meeting Several Alton residents spoke out against a developer’s proposal to shoehorn 65 townhouses onto a 10-acre site right in the heart of the village The general impression those residents conveyed was that they felt alone and abandoned If the at-large voting system is implemented they will likely feel even more alone and abandoned At the heart of this issue is the town clerk’s report/evaluation of the 2022 municipal election which came before a general committee of council in early March The report examined alternative voting methods—such as in mail ballots and voting online It also contained a recommendation to look at changing the way the regional councillors are elected – to elect them by general vote instead of by wards There have been suggestions by those who attended that meeting that the clerk’s report was heavily biased in favour of the at-large model What is even more alarming is that Mayor Groves and Napoli all voted against a motion to obtain public input But they were outvoted by Councillors deBoer with committee chair Dave Maskell casting the deciding vote this issue was tabled at the April 15 public information meeting – the same one that the Alton residents attended Several delegates used the opportunity to voice alarm that Caledon’s rural voice would be lost Others expressed more than a little bit of outrage “I’m here today to speak out against a proposed change that has quietly made its way through Council – without our input and without any meaningful consultation until tonight,” said Erica McNiece It is a fundamental reshaping of how we are represented the top two vote-getters across the entire town of Caledon would be elected – regardless of where they live or which communities they understand best If it had been up to the Mayor and Councillors Russo Rosa and Napoli there wouldn’t have been a public meeting She also drew a symbolic line between what could happen in Caledon and the seemingly often-manipulated voting practices in the United States “We are used to hearing about gerrymandering down in Trump-land which is political changing of electoral boundaries to further a specific outcome In Caledon we call it Option One: Regional Councillors elected by general vote The most equitable way to ensure that all residents – rural and all communities with different interests and points of view – are represented fairly is by a ward system McNiece and the other delegates didn’t get to speak until about 10 pm A procedural bylaw had to be passed by the committee so the meeting could continue beyond 11 pm 25 to 30 spectators who had been following the meeting remained right to the bitter end That is a strong demonstration that people care about municipal democracy in Caledon It was mentioned by the town that they have been seeking public consultation on this issue through a survey A resident pointed out that the survey had begun prior to this meeting so before people had an opportunity to hear about and understand what was being proposed It was also indicated that there was no requirement by the town to set up a user name and password to do their surveys While there is a “Register Now” button on the Have Your Say page one can simply click on a project and then click on the corresponding Take Survey button without signing in This could in theory allow a single person to complete multiple responses to the surveys thereby skewing the results residents can still weigh in on this issue either by letter or email or appearing as a delegate at the May 6th committee meeting See:

Orangeville Karklins is a professor at Conestoga College Viktor Karklins has been nominated as the NDP candidate in Dufferin—Caledon for the April 28 federal election design and communications courses at Conestoga College who was born in Toronto and raised in Orangeville has lived in several Canadian cities before returning to Dufferin—Caledon “ … when Viktor finally had a family of his own, he wanted to be back here, to be back home,” his candidate website stated Karklins has a master of business administration degree and worked for several non-profits and businesses dream of more and work as one to solve the crises before us Let’s stop the greed in its tracks and force the grocery stores to keep prices fair while punishing price gouging on essentials You’re already paying more than your fair share of taxes And rather than cuts that leave the most vulnerable out in the cold safety and services to everyone rather than just the ultra-rich,” Karklins said on his website Protesters demonstrating against the provincial government’s planned Highway 413 Read what candidates have to say about the controversial highway that some Caledon residents are strongly opposed to With some Caledon residents clearly in opposition to Highway 413 Caledon Enterprise asked the provincial election candidates to state their position on the proposed highway Five of the seven Dufferin-Caledon candidates shared their thoughts on the controversial highway plan that has become an election issue for many voters At a campaign stop in Dufferin-Caledon alongside local candidate Sandy Brown Ontario Green Party leader Mike Schreiner announced his party’s commitment to cancelling Highway 413 He said the $10 billion would be redirected toward health care in rural communities Schreiner attributed his party’s decision to “the strong leadership of local champions like Sandy Brown” and “grassroots advocacy groups.” “Sandy knows Ontarians can’t afford to waste $10 billion on a highway that will pave over 2,000 acres of prime farmland and slice through the Greenbelt when people in our rural communities don’t have access to health care,” Schreiner said in a media release Brown also called out Health Minister and incumbent Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones for supporting “Doug Ford’s plan to waste $10 billion on a highway we don’t need.” In a conversation with the Caledon Enterprise Brown spoke of utilizing Highway 407 to ease the congestion on Highway 401 Highway 407 should be utilized to its full capacity before “duplicating another parallel highway a few miles away.” He feels that truckers should be “incentivized” to use Highway 407 to prevent congestion on Highway 401 We don’t want it,” Liberal candidate Michael Dehn said about the proposed Highway 413 “It’s a ridiculous place to put it … in the last bit of green space between Georgetown Existing roads need to be fixed first before creating new problems for Highway 9 (running east-west) to become a four-lane highway all the way from Highway 400 westward you could go down to London or to Kitchener-Waterloo and from there join Highway 401 again or the Highway 402 to Sarnia,” said Dehn New Blue Party candidate Kris Eggleton said he would cancel the proposed highway and plans to use Highway 407 as an alternative to Highway 401 “… I would concentrate on getting the (Highway) 407 back and convert it to a non-toll highway after the purchase price was covered,” Eggleton wrote in an email to Caledon Enterprise Independent candidate Jeffrey Halsall wants to prioritize local road improvements address congestion on existing routes and ensure “we have all the facts” before taking a stance on the proposed highway “While I recognize the potential benefits of easing traffic and supporting economic growth I also understand concerns about environmental impact and the effect on our local landscape,” Halsall wrote in an email “Reliable and accessible transit can reduce traffic and provide alternatives that work for everyone.” Halsall plans to hold several town hall meetings to hear directly from residents about Highway 413 and other transportation concerns and a growing need to move our goods and services and people around If we do not plan now for the expansions then we’re playing catch-up,” Sylvia Jones said about the proposed highway the Doug Ford government is “thinking in terms of the future” and “making sure that we have the infrastructure in place to accommodate that growth.” “Studies have shown that even with no road tolls the (Highway) 407 would be at capacity in 2035,” Jones said “Making Highway 407 toll-free would be an immediate solution to dealing with congestion in a way that doesn’t threaten our farmland and Greenbelt the way Highway 413 would do,” according to George Nakitsas He was referring to party leader Marit Stiles’ announcement that an Ontario NDP government will make Highway 407 toll-free A party statement said tolls for trucks will be removed right away by a Stiles government after which it will negotiate with 407 ETR to remove tolls for all vehicles No contact information was found for Ontario Moderate Party

I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished together for our community in such a short time. Honouring those who serve our community has been a distinct pleasure,” Seeback said on his campaign website He also referred to his private member’s bill to reform the immigration system The MP is most proud of organizing Hockey Night in Dufferin-Caledon which he said raised over $350,000 in three years in support of an MRI machine for the local hospital Seeback previously represented the riding of Brampton West from 2011 to 2015 He was also a member of the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and Justice and Human Rights committees during this time The party website describes him as being an “outspoken voice” for freedom of speech and strong democratic institutions He is credited with helping pass the Reform Act which the party terms as “a critical piece of legislation” that enhances the independence of Members of Parliament.” According to the Dufferin-Caledon Conservative Association Seeback is a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario and has been certified by the University of Windsor Law School Seeback swam for the Canadian national team in his university years He also coached Orangeville Minor Hockey for nearly a decade “My goal is to be your true local representative and build a better country for your children and mine: Aidan and William,” Seeback stated on his website Building bright futures: Groundbreaking ceremony held for Caledon East Public School   2024 – Shovels broke ground to officially mark the start of construction for the replacement of Caledon East Public School representing the beginning of an exciting new chapter for students modern facility will address the needs of a rapidly expanding residential area Originally built in 1971 and expanded in 1998 to serve 254 students the existing Caledon East Public School can no longer accommodate the area’s growing population the Ministry of Education awarded $32.4 million in Capital Priorities funding to Peel District School Board for the construction of this new school that has been designed to accommodate up to 650 students The new school will include state-of-the-art features to enhance learning and expanded services for the community The new school represents a significant commitment to serving the educational and childcare needs of the Caledon East community The facility will be constructed by Quad Pro Construction Inc Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2024 The existing school building will be demolished in July and August 2026 and the new facility will open its doors to students and staff in September 2026 The groundbreaking ceremony highlights the Peel District School Board’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of its communities and expanding access to licensed childcare spaces the new Caledon East Public School will serve as a cornerstone of education and support for new and existing families in the area “We are deeply grateful to the Ministry of Education for their commitment to investing in the future of the Caledon East community and this new school will be an environment where students support staff and community will be inspired every day.”  “This new school represents a tremendous investment in our community’s future and marks a pivotal moment for Caledon East It’s not just about classrooms; it’s about creating a space where families can connect and the entire community can feel supported The new building not only addresses the needs of our growing community but also sets the standard for modern sustainable educational spaces—a win for students “With modern learning spaces and a dedicated childcare centre the new Caledon East Public School will be a first-rate learning environment that will inspire both students and families we are laying the foundation to nurture future generations in the Caledon East community.”  I know families in growing areas of Ontario need to have access to modern schools close to home in their local community and that’s why building more schools is a key part of our Building Ontario plan Our government is proud to deliver the largest one-year investment in new schools in Ontario history and I’m excited to work with all our partners in education to support these vital infrastructure projects.”  “Our government is investing over $32 million to get shovels in the ground on the new Caledon East Public School to meet the needs of local families in this growing community By increasing the number of students accommodated from 254 to up to 650 we are ensuring students and staff can thrive in a new Communications and Public Engagement  Peel District School Board   Malon.edwards@peelsb.com  905-301-6382  Request path: /news/news-release-building-bright-futures-groundbreaking-ceremony-held-for-caledon-east-public-school--20241217143454 Copyright © document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) Peel District School Board School District Websites by Imagine Everything Inc.

While it is titled “2026 Municipal Election Voting Methods Survey” it indicates that it also accepts feedback about the Method for Electing Regional Councillors. You can find the Survey here.
