I love exploring the great outdoors and hitting the trails as much as possible and fall is a great time to hike. That is why I’ve written this hiking blog.
Caledon sits in a special place in Southern Ontario. Hiking varies from steep climbs up the cliff face of the escarpment through a moss-covered rock garden draped in bowing ferns to the open expanse of the moraine’s terrain where kettle lakes dot the vista to the burnished red Cheltenham Badlands. There are farm fields, split rail fences and magnificent hardwood forests. Caledon’s pair of rail trails are flat and wide enough to accommodate families walking abreast, and some of the trails lead onto quiet country roads that pass through small villages that invite you to stop for a respite and possibly some refreshments. In other words, tucked into the Caledon Hills, only an hour from Yonge & Bloor streets, is some of the greatest day hiking Ontario has to offer.
Within the Town of Caledon, there are over 260 kilometres of trails. One of the top things to do in Caledon is hike. A top trail is the Caledon Trailway! This multi-use trail runs 35 kilometres across Peel Region, from Terra Cotta to Highway 9, and ends in New Tecumseth. So, if you’re looking for awesome hiking trails in Ontario then add the Caledon Trailway to your list.
Here are some books and items from the Caledon Public Library that will help you along your journey!

Caledon Public Library is collaborating with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and is hosting the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), a free tax clinic, where CRA volunteers complete tax preparation services for eligible individuals and families with moderate income and simple tax situations.
Here is a guide to see if you’re eligible to participate in the program:
Please complete the online appointment request form to be added to the waitlist to have your 2021 Income Taxes completed by a volunteer. Appointments will start in March and end April 30th, 2022.
Individuals need to do their taxes every year to qualify for many federal, provincial, and municipal programs and services. This is a difficult and sometimes overwhelming task for many people in need. Each year through the CVITP, organizations and volunteers help hundreds of thousands of eligible individuals file their income tax and benefit returns.
The CVITP service is offered free of charge to everyone who meets the eligibility criteria, and includes doing taxes for the current year. Read more about this program’s specifics at this link.
Caledon Public Library and the volunteers will not be responsible for any errors made to submitted income tax forms and cannot guarantee the amount received in tax returns or money owed. Individuals may be audited by the CRA at any time. Volunteers maintain the right to decline completing the tax return if the client does not meet the eligibility requirements.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 905-857-1400 ext. 223 or email us at ISAll@caledon.library.on.ca
