Caledon implements revised COVID-19 public health restrictions

November 21, 2020 -- In response to the November 20 announcement by the Province of Ontario, the Town of Caledon is taking action to implement revised Region of Peel Public Health COVID-19 restrictions.

Effective Monday, November 23 at 12:01 a.m. Caledon, as part of the Region of Peel, is moving into “Lockdown” (Grey) level.

“As Dr. Loh has pointed out, the numbers in Caledon are going in the wrong direction,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “This is not just a Brampton or Mississauga issue. We have to do a better job to protect our loved ones here in Caledon. Please, everyone, with the holidays fast approaching, let’s do our part NOW to stop the spread.”

Among the changes in the Lockdown phase, schools and child care will remain open, as well as essential services, but gyms and recreation centres will close, indoor dining will stop and places of worship will be limited to 10 people.

BUSINESS

Now more than ever it is important to safely support local businesses. The Town recently launched its #LoveLocalCaledon campaign to encourage residents to shop locally.

“As the Premier has said, if you can spend your dollar locally, now is the time to do so,” the Mayor said. “Order online, get take-out or home delivery, shop locally where it’s allowed...we can still show our support for #LoveLocalCaledon.”

Local businesses can order a free #LoveLocalCaledon promotional kit at caledon.ca/business.

They are also encouraged to apply for funding to help recover COVID-19 costs for personal protective equipment (PPE) or for rebates to help with fixed costs such as property tax or energy bills.
