The town of Caledon is a wealthy one where annual wages are much higher than the national average. Back in the day, residents made their riches from the natural bounty of the region. Historically, these included from gold mining, harvesting the region’s abundant farmlands, as well as bottling spring water from the region’s fresh water sources. Due to the early economic boom of this historically prosperous community, housing and living costs can be quite expensive. Additionally, Caledonians pay high rates of taxes, however this ensures that the community has excellent services, amenities and facilities. There are also a number of new developments coming up in the city.

A highlight of the infrastructure is the transport services, which includes the well-maintained roads and the GO transit services. Senior citizens, disabled and infirmed passengers can also use the transit services provided by Caledon Community Services Transportation. The education system of Caledon is also excellent and public and Catholic schools in the region offer both Anglophone and Francophone schools. In addition to the majority of residents who are Caucasian with European ancestry, people from South Asia, especially Indians, East Asia and Arabs have been moving into the community, giving it a multicultural atmosphere.

Any Caledon resident will mention the country markets that the town is renowned for and you can’t afford to miss these. These markets offer locally grown fruits and vegetables and home baked goods. To enjoy the urban chic aspect of this beautiful rural community, spend a day out spent antique shopping and eating at charming local spots. Most of the shopping centres in Caledon are in Caledon East or Bolton, an area you must check out. The streets of Bolton give off a charming historical vibe with its historical buildings and cast-iron street lamps, setting the tone for what is a great place to live!
