Walk of Fame

 

The Caledon Walk of Fame was initiated in 1999 for the purpose of honouring local Canadian citizens, both past and present.  These individuals have made a significant contribution to the quality of life, not only for the residents of Caledon, but to a wider community.
The Town of Caledon Walk of Fame is situated at the front entrance of the Trans Canada Trail Pavilion on the west side of Airport Road in Caledon East.  A stone is placed in honour of each recipient during a formal Walk of Fame ceremony, held at the beginning of summer in June.
