Mask by-law

January 22, 2021 -- Following the recent provincial stay-at-home order and state of emergency, the Town of Caledon is extending its mask by-law and adapting other procedures, programs and services to comply. 

“The cooperation by the vast majority of Caledon residents has been tremendous,” said Mayor Allan Thompson.  “Now is the time for all of us to stay home except for essential purposes.” 

“We understand that people may still have questions about compliance,” said Inspector Mike Garant, Interim Detachment Commander of Caledon OPP. “But please do not call the 911 number unless it is a true emergency. For non-emergencies in Caledon please call the OPP toll-free number at 1-888-310-1122.”
