Salt used on roadways, driveways and sidewalks gets washed into stormwater ponds and affects the water's ability to freeze.

This creates dangerous ice conditions like thin ice, cracks and holes. Please stay away from stormwater ponds and use less salt this winter.

Proud of this significant milestone for the Town of Caledon, as we formally recognized the service and sacrifice of the No. 2 Construction Battalion. This commemorative plaque serves as a permanent reminder of the bravery of the over 600 men who served in the unit.
