This National Public Works Week (May 16-22), the Town of Caledon says thank you to staff working tirelessly during the pandemic to maintain roads, bridges, buildings, and parks, as well as building new roads and bridges that improve our quality of life.
“Our Public Works staff are also our frontline,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “They maintain necessary services such as roads, parks, water, wastewater, stormwater treatment, public buildings, and emergency management. Our staff have continued to go into work, while many of us work from home, and for that I can’t thank them enough.”
During National Public Works Week, feel free to give a heartfelt (physically distanced) thank you to staff who collect garbage, cut grass, repair roads and sidewalks.

Heart of Fairfield mural pilot project takes administrative step
FAIRFIELD The City Council gave the city manager the authority Tuesday to enter into facade and mural site agreements with private property owners as part of the Art in Public Spaces Pilot Project in the Heart of Fairfield.
The agreement allows the city to take whatever preparation steps are needed to install a mural on an exterior wall of a private commercial property and protect it from “unauthorized modifications.”
The agreement also allows the city to maintain the artwork “related to vandalism, graffiti, and/or needed repair during the term” of the contract, which is typically 10 years.
