Village Square Updates:
AVA has been working the Town to secure water for the Square. We have received great news the installation of water to the Square will be happening in the Spring. This water hookup will allow us to get our water feature operating, and also help us to maintain the Village Gardens. We want to thank Brian Baird, Manager of Parks at the Town of Caledon, for his hard work and ongoing support for our Village Square. The Town of Caledon is also going to take over looking after the Garbage at the Village Square. We want to remind dog lovers, that when walking your pets in the Square to please ensure that you clean-up after them. Your help to keep our Square a pleasant place to stroll is appreciated. The AVA encourages all residents and visitors to enjoy the use of our picnic tables and benches in the Village Square, and did you know that you can pick berries from the bushes along the east boarder of the Square in the spring?

Alton Pump Track, an outdoor bike track located next to the Alton Ball Diamond is well underway. The base is installed, and if the weather cooperates it is hoped that the track is completed in June.
