Caledon's Population Allocations

1.  Population & Employment Forecasts

Caledon’s Official Plan was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on August 1, 1997. The Official Plan has established population and employment forecasts for the Town of Caledon through 2021 as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Population & Employment Forecasts

2.  Population Allocations by Settlement Category or Land Use Area

Population Allocations for 2011 and 2021 have been assigned in Tables 2 to 6 to settlement categories, specific settlements and land use areas as approved by the OMB.

The 2021 Population Allocations for the Rural Service Centres and Villages in Table 2 represent interim budget population allocations only, pending the completion of the Mayfield West Community Development Plan, and the Village Study, and the determination of the 2021 population allocations for these communities.

*The category ‘Rural’ includes lands in the Agricultural Area, Rural Area and the Palgrave Estates Community.

3.  Population Allocations – Rural Service Centres

The Bolton 2021 population allocation has been assigned. The population allocation figure for Mayfield West shown in Table 3, was based on an aggregated interim budget allocation to Mayfield West and Caledon East pending completion of the Mayfield West Community Development Plan and the Caledon East Secondary Plan. Following completion of the Caledon East Secondary Plan, the 2021 population allocation for Caledon East has been assigned. Mayfield West has been allocated the residual interim population allocation. The completion of the Mayfield West Community Development Plan will determine the actual population allocation for Mayfield West.

The 2016 population allocation for Caledon East is 6,400 as projected in the Caledon East Secondary Plan. The 2011 population allocation for Caledon East represents an interpolation based on the 2016 population.

Until the Mayfield West Community Development Plan is completed and the appropriate official plan amendment is approved, the historically established population for Mayfield West shown in Table 3 will be used to regulate the population to be accommodated in the community.

4.  Population Allocations – Villages

The total Villages population allocation shown in Table 4 represent interim budget population allocations pending completion of the Village Study. The completion of this study will determine the actual population allocation for each of the Villages. Until this study is completed and the appropriate official plan amendment(s) approved, the historically established population for each Village will be used to regulate the population to be accommodated in these communities.

A Village Study has been completed for Inglewood Village. Therefore, the Inglewood Village 2021 population allocation has been assigned.
