On Friday, July 24, 2026, members of the Caledon Detachment were called to Forks of The Credit Road for an eastbound commercial motor vehicle that unsuccessfully attempted to maneuver around a tight hairpin turn on the scenic road. The truck and trailer became wedged into the guiderail causing a lengthy closure of the road for its removal. The area is a posted no heavy truck route.

As a result of the incident, Forks of the Credit Road was closed for over 2 hours to facilitate the safe removal of the truck and trailer.

A 65 year old driver from Mississauga was charged with:

• Disobey Sign
• Interfere With Traffic

Caledon OPP would like to remind commercial motor vehicle drivers that there are many route restrictions in Caledon that exist to keep them, their trucks and the roads safe. If the GPS says yes, but the sign says no - TRUST THE SIGN.

Caledon Detachment officers continue to conduct commercial vehicle enforcement initiatives everyday of the year in an on-going effort to ensure the safety and security of our community members and those passing through Caledon. Road safety is a joint effort between drivers, owners and community members.

The OPP Caledon Detachment would like to encourage motorists to report potential dangerous commercial motor vehicles or poor driving behaviour. Motorists can call 911, or *OPP (*677) on their mobile device and be put in contact with an emergency dispatcher. Using a mobile device to report a potential impaired driver will not result in a charge for using a hand-held communication device.

On January 21, 2026, officers from the Caledon OPP received a report of a fail to remain motor vehicle collision. The complainant alleged an unknown driver struck their vehicle and fled the scene without exchanging insurance information.

Officers entered into an investigation which suggested a fail to remain collision did not occur, but rather the complainant had previously been involved in a collision approximately a month prior, which resulted in significant damages to their vehicle. At the time of the collision, the vehicle was uninsured and as a result, the complainant fabricated a new collision report in an attempt to obtain reimbursement for the damages illegitimately.

As a result of the investigation, a 23-year-old from Caledon was charged with:

• Public mischief
• Fraud over $5000

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to the charges.

Fraud involving vehicle collisions and automotive insurance can take many different forms. To learn more about current trends and preventative measures, please visit the website here.

If you suspect illegal activity surrounding vehicle collisions or fraudulent automotive insurance claims, call the Caledon OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

Truck prohibition pilot in the Town of Caledon

Pilot program will improve community safety in Alton and Caledon East.

Peel Region is implementing a one-year, time-of-day truck prohibition pilot beginning July 2026.

The pilot is aimed at improving community safety, reducing noise, and supporting pedestrian-friendly environments in the villages of Alton and Caledon East.

Refer to the visual map displaying the locations listed.

Reason for the pilot

The pilot is being introduced because residents in Alton and Caledon East have raised concerns about the amount of truck traffic moving through their communities.

Most of the trucks moving through these areas do not serve local destinations, with only a few beginning or ending their trips in the villages. This has led to worries about safety, noise, and the character of these village areas.

The pilot aims to reduce the impact of truck traffic during the busiest and most sensitive times of day. Trucks will still be allowed to use these roads outside the restricted hours.

This approach is designed to protect community well‑being while still supporting Peel’s transportation needs.

Where the prohibitions will apply

Alton:

• Regional Road 136 (Porterfield Road / Queen Street East / Main Street), from Regional Road 24 (Charleston Sideroad) to Dufferin County Road 109

Caledon East:

• Regional Road 7 (Airport Road) from Regional Road 9 (King Street) to Regional Road 24 (Charleston Sideroad)
• Regional Road 22 (Old Church Road) from Airport Road to Highway 50

Truck prohibition schedule

The pilot introduces prohibited truck access during the following times:

Monday to Friday

• 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.

In addition, all day on weekends and statutory holidays.

Monitoring and evaluation

Throughout the one-year pilot, Peel Region employees will actively monitor:

• Truck traffic patterns, such as increases or decreases and any shifts to nearby roads.
• Road safety impacts.
• Feedback from residents, businesses, and industry partners.

At the end of the pilot, Peel Region will prepare a full report and present it to Regional Council. Access the Peel Regional Council report at Pilot Truck Prohibition in the Town of Caledon.

Feedback

If you would like to provide feedback, email Alton Caledon East Truck Pilot.

Here’s your Caledon Week in Review for the week of June 22nd to 28th.

It was another busy week across the community as residents settled into summer and several important local stories made headlines.

The Town of Caledon continued celebrating June as Recreation and Parks Month, with free programs, family activities, fitness opportunities and outdoor events taking place throughout the municipality. Residents were encouraged to take advantage of local parks, trails and recreation facilities before the month wraps up.

The Town also highlighted Caledon's newest official symbol. Following a community vote that drew more than 900 ballots, the Downy Woodpecker has officially been named Caledon's town bird. The designation follows Caledon's recognition as a Bird Friendly City by Nature Canada and reflects ongoing efforts to support local wildlife and environmental stewardship.

Roadwork remained a major topic in Bolton, where rehabilitation work continued on Crestwood Road, Little Court, Maidstone Court and Kentbridge Court. Drivers experienced lane restrictions and local traffic controls as crews carried out curb and pavement improvements. Residents are being reminded to allow extra travel time and follow all posted construction signage.

At the Alton Mill Arts Centre, the Wanderlust exhibition wrapped up on June 28th. The popular show featured the work of more than 30 local artists, showcasing painting, photography, ceramics, fibre art and mixed-media creations inspired by journeys, memories and personal experiences.

On the public safety front, Caledon OPP reported the recovery of a stolen vehicle on Coleraine Drive on Saturday night. Three people were arrested following a police investigation, and several charges have been laid. Police continue to encourage residents to report suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods.

Looking ahead, residents are invited to participate in a virtual Traffic Safety Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for early July. The session will provide an opportunity for the community to discuss local traffic concerns and hear updates from town staff, Peel Region and the OPP.

And finally, with Canada Day just around the corner, local organizations and community groups are preparing celebrations and events that will kick off across Caledon next week, marking the beginning of another busy summer season.

That's your Caledon Week in Review for June 22nd to 28th, 2026.
