Asset Naming and Memorial Program

The Town of Caledon has a wide network of municipally owned assets. These assets contribute to civic pride and placemaking in their reflection of the community.

The naming of assets through the Facility and Park Assets Naming Policy is a means of celebrating Caledon's culture and unique ecology. 

The memorial program serves as a commemorative tribute to honour the memory of a person and recognize community contributions.

*The memorial program is currently under review and will resume in 2024.

Memorial Program 

Thank you for your interest in memorial opportunities within Caledon. To ensure the memorial program is accessible to all Caledon residents, the program is currently under review.

It is our intention to develop a program that acknowledges Caledon’s rich natural landscape as a backdrop for meaningful dedications and celebrations of life. A refreshed memorial program framework will be launched in January 2024.
