Town and TRCA host new 'Celebrate Caledon' event on Canada Day

May 19, 2022 – The Town of Caledon, in partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), is excited to announce a new event this year called ‘Celebrate Caledon’ set for July 1, 2022 at Albion Hills Conservation Area.

This free community event brings together the best of the beloved Caledon Day and TRCA’s Caledon Canada Day events. Newly named ‘Celebrate Caledon’ organizers say it will provide an opportunity to celebrate as a community again. The previous events were cancelled two years in a row due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“We are so pleased to be able to offer an event where the whole community can come together to celebrate Caledon pride,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “By partnering with TRCA, this year’s event offers live entertainment, fireworks, local vendors including Caledon Hills brewery and family fun with activities for the kids, all in the beautiful Albion Hills Conservation Area.”

Headlining this year’s Husky Main Stage will be the Juno nominated band Wide Mouth Mason, and feature local Caledon opening acts; Itchy and Scratchy Showband and Vilivant.

Like previous years, Caledon Community Services will be hosting Vélocity, their annual cycling event based at Town Hall. Vélocity helps raise valuable funds to help Caledon Seniors enjoy a fulfilled and engaged lifestyle. Start off Celebrate Caledon with an in-person ride the whole family can enjoy. Or create your own route from wherever you happen to be on July 1. To register or donate visit ccsvelocity.ca.

Media sponsor 102.7 Moose FM will be on site with their remote station and on-air host to add to the festivities.

More details will be available closer to the event. Visit Caledon.ca/celebrate for more information.
