Energy and Environment

The Town of Caledon is dedicated to addressing climate change and protecting the environment in our community. 

Climate Emergency

On January 28, 2020 Caledon Council declared a climate emergency, recognizing the need to address climate change urgently. The Town has updated its Community Climate Change Action Plan that contains strategies that will significantly contribute to the Town's ability to cope with and address climate change.
