Thank you for participating in the development of a multi-use trail along the former Orangeville Brampton Railway. Public input is an important component of this process and we value your input.
Background:
On July 15, 2022, the Municipalities of Caledon, Brampton and Mississauga purchased 51km of the railway corridor. The corridor runs from the north end of Mississauga, through Brampton and Caledon, all the way to Orangeville, and continues north as a trail, to Owen Sound, giving it a unique opportunity to connect the region north to south.
The Region of Peel conveyed to each municipality (Caledon, Brampton, and Mississauga) the portion of the rail line within their limits at no cost, with the requirement and commitment that it be converted to an active transportation route that would connect the Region of Peel and its municipalities.
The Town of Caledon is responsible for converting the 36 km section of rail line within our boundary to a multi-use pedestrian and cyclist trailway. The decision for the Town of Caledon to acquire 36km of the rail line was passed by Council in April 2022.
The Town of Caledon is undertaking a study to consider several options for the trail.
Engagement Opportunities: Survey You are invited to participate in our survey to help us understand how our residents use Caledon’s trails. Your responses will help shape the design of the trail!

The CRT Project will:
- Connect the communities in Caledon as well as Orangeville, Brampton and Mississauga
- Promote walking and cycling for recreation and the enjoyment of nature
- Support healthy living, economic development and tourism opportunities
- Help build a healthier Town
The CRT Project includes 3 major phases:
Phase 1: Initial consultation, defining the scope, safety review of the corridor under interim conditions, public consultation to inform preliminary design (we are here)
Phase 2: Preliminary design, broad public consultation for preliminary design, completion of relevant studies
Phase 3: Detailed design, construction
