Cotta cycling event, which will feature cyclists
from across North America.
That’s not the only major event coming to
Caledon, however. Every Father’s Day week-
end in June, the town celebrates Caledon
Day, a community day festival that drew over
15,000 attendees last year – many from out of
town – who came to experience the local talent
and goods the town has to offer.
The town is also home to the nationally-
acclaimed Alton Mills Art Centre, the upscale
Hampton Inn in Bolton which is “always booked
solid,” and the Brampton-Caledon Airport, the
country’s busiest uncontrolled airport by vol-
ume of flights which also houses one of the
largest private flight schools in Canada.
“Caledon is a destination area,” says Dol-
son. “And while we are on the cusp of being
a truly cosmopolitan destination for business
investment, we’re never going to lose the rural
and agricultural components that make us so
special. That includes the agritourism aspects
that come with that – we have huge opportuni-
ties that way.”
“The cliché ‘live, work and play’ is over-
used, but we really do have all of that here in
Caledon,” she adds.
