Advocacy

Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)

The Town of Caledon is participating in the AMO Annual Conference being held in Ottawa from August 18 to 21, 2024. Council members and staff will meet with a number of provincial Ministers throughout the conference to advocate for important issues impacting the people of Caledon.

The Town of Caledon will emphasize the importance of proactive government collaboration to support Caledon's growth and development in areas such as transit, parkland development, age-friendly communities, energy infrastructure, recreation, court administration, and economic development. Caledon's delegation will also be calling on the provincial government to: 

  • Take action on illegal land use, including strengthening municipal enforcement powers.
  • Advance the proposed Caledon-Vaughan GO Line, with an in-service date before 2041.
  • Increase legal requirements of aggregate operators to mitigate the impact on communities and the environment, including mandating increased minimum distance from communities and better rehabilitation of lands following completion. 

Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA)

The Town of Caledon participates in the Rural Ontario Municipal Association annual conference. This year's conference includes keynote speakers, expert panels, breakout sessions and engagement with provincial representatives, among other opportunities to discuss and debate rural municipal issues.

The 2024 conference, themed Closer to Home, was held in-person in Toronto from January 21-23, 2024.
