March 27, 2026
Caledon, ON — On Friday, local MPP Sylvia Jones met with the team at Caledon Community Services as they celebrated a $168,600 Capital grant they received from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) to strengthen the organization’s transportation services for seniors.
“Our government’s investment through the Ontario Trillium Foundation is helping Caledon Community Services expand accessible transportation and better support seniors across Caledon,” said Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin-Caledon. “This initiative will improve access to reliable transportation, helping more residents stay connected to essential services, maintain their independence and continue participating in community life.”
Awarded in June 2025, the grant funded the purchase of a new specialized accessible vehicle which will help CCS expand their transportation services and provide over 400 Caledon residents with safe, reliable rides to medical appointments, community programs, and other essential services.
“This investment is about dignity and connection. With OTF’s support this accessible vehicle ensures seniors are able to stay independent and connected to the care, programs and opportunities they rely on. We’re grateful for this partnership that strengthens Caledon today and builds a more inclusive community for tomorrow,” said Geraldine Aguiar, Chief Executive Officer for Caledon Community Services
