Planning Report 2006-49 Population and Employment Forecasts – Final Recommendations

The development of population and employment forecasts and allocations for the Town of Caledon is being undertaken as part of the South Albion-Bolton Community Plan.  Background information, Terms of Reference and descriptions of the Community Meetings for the South-Albion Bolton Community Plan can be found on the page describing that project.

This page will provide information specific to the development of population and employment forecasts and allocations.  This information can also be found on the South-Albion Bolton Community Plan page.

The Population and Employment Allocations sub-component of the South Albion-Bolton Community Plan has generated recommendations by Town staff and consultants.  The Study Team recommended new population and employment forecasts for the Town of Caledon through Planning and Development Report 2006-36, which was presented to Council on May 16, 2006.  This report recommended population and employment forecasts for the Town as a whole for the 2031 planning horizon and the allocation of these forecasts among the various communities in Caledon.  The report also recommended the reallocation of some population from the Villages and Palgrave Estates Residential Community to the Rural Service Centres of Bolton and Mayfield West prior to 2021.  The Town-wide total population for 2021 of 84,444 would remain unchanged.  Council authorized the scheduling of a Public Information Meeting on June 12, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. at the Caledon Community Complex in Caledon East.
