that excels both academically and athletically.
Caledon is also home to a very tight-knit
community that goes above and beyond to
keep the town clean and safe. Mayor Thomp-

helped the town host its portion of the 2015

venue today, with 41 events booked following
the conclusion of the Games, and many more
to come.
