Good morning everyone.  We have just been informed that the Town of Caledon now officially owns the Alton Cemetery.  You will notice that a sign will be placed at the Cemetery notifying the public to contact the Town for any questions regarding the property and operations.
​

On behalf of the Directors of the Alton Village Association (AVA) we want to take this opportunity to thank Sean Barry and those who have worked so hard, over the years either on the Cemetery Board, or as village volunteers maintaining our Cemetery.

Alton Village Environmental Assessment Update (August 27, 2020)

8/27/2020

0 Comments

 
The Corporation of the Town of Caledon is currently undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment for the reconstruction of Main Street North and Queen Street West in the Village of Alton.
The purpose of the study is to develop a road design that enhances connectivity and visitor accessibility to the Alton Village area. In identifying improvements to the corridor, the study is considering technical, aesthetic, and structural requirements; as well as socio-economic, cultural heritage, and natural environment factors.

The project is being undertaken in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015).
​

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, associated restrictions on public gatherings, and in the interest of public health, all display materials for the second of two Public Information Centres (PIC) are available online only. The intent of the display materials is to share information on the identification and evaluation of alternative design options and to receive input from the public on the preferred design solution.
Materials for review:

  • Presentation boards on Caldeon.ca
  • Presentation boards on Google Drive

The “Lighting of the Tree Party” was held at the Village Square (at Queen and Victoria Streets), on Saturday December 14th., 2019, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
The Party was a terrific success. Thank you to all who attended.
Thank you to our many volunteers.

New attractions were added this year including fire pits (for cooking “s’mores”) and more globe lighting. Both free hot chocolate and warm apple cider were provided. Generous donations of delicious cookies were made available. The best hot dogs ever and s’mores were for sale. The Party began with the special delivery of a very jolly Santa on our Alton fire trucks. The colourfully garbed Town Crier led a musical countdown to the lighting of the tree (a real tree!). Eric Wood then led a rousing carol singing, followed by a meet and greet in the Square. This annual Party could not happen without the generosity of many. We wish to extend a special “thank you” to the following:

* Santa, who delighted both children and adults.
 * Our great Alton Fire Department for delivering and attending our event.
 * Andrew Welch our official (and award-winning) Town Crier, who opened our event and whom we all look forward to seeing.
 * The Reynolds family of Alton for providing us with such great support and for again loaning us their B.B.Q. and providing the best hot dogs ever.
 * Spirit Tree of Caledon for providing wonderful Apple Cider which we look forward to every year.
 * Tim Hortons of Caledon for providing Hot Chocolate which was certainly appreciated.
 * D&D Commercial Services – Emanuel Cini for providing great hotdog buns.
 * The volunteer bakers from the Village for providing such tasty homemade cookies for free.
 * McLean-Sherwood Event Rental of Orangeville supplied vintage lighting.
 * Alton Public School for Advertising our Event and ensuring that every child went home with a flyer.
 * Community Business Owners and services who displayed our advertising for the event.
 * Barry Metson for removing snow so we could gather around the tree, and walk in the Square.
 
We also want to thank Allan Thompson Mayor for his ongoing support for Alton and Ian Sinclair, Regional Councillor, Lynn Kiernan, Area Councillor, for their community support and attendance at the Party.

This Annual event would not take place without the help from our very generous Community.
If we have missed anyone, we apologize.
