“This is the last remaining Legion in Caledon,” said Allan Thompson, Mayor of Caledon. “It has been a meeting place and community hub for many years and I’m so proud that we are able to help with some much needed repairs so that it can continue to be a valuable resource for residents.”
The Caledon Council Community Golf Tournament (CCCGT) committee was established as a committee of Council in 2013.
Each year, the committee appoints a chair and vice chair and determines a primary recipient of the funds raised from the annual CCCGT.
This year, the committee agreed to provide the primary recipient – Royal Canadian Legion, Alton Branch - 60% of the funds, rounded to the nearest thousand, raised from the 2016 CCCGT.
The remaining funds will be allocated through an application process in 2017. Applications for those grants will be available at caledon.ca/golf in January 2017.
