Caledon
While the Town of Caledon has been embroiled in repeated encroachments into the Greenbelt Plan area, including the Highway 413 corridor and the recent Swan Lake controversy, the Oak Ridges Moraine has not been a direct target yet. The more persistent threat facing the Moraine in Caledon is the ongoing development of “green sprawl.” Exemplified by the areas in and around the Palgrave Estate Residential Community, estate-lot creation and low-density growth continue to raise issues around fragmentation, servicing, and the gradual erosion of Caledon’s rural cultural heritage
