March is here and that means spring is just around the corner.  It also means the Caledonia Home and Garden show is just a few weeks away.  Be sure to stop by the show and visit the Caledonia Tourism Display where you will have a chance to see what is happening in Caledonia.

I also want to congratulate all of the award recipients who received their awards in February at the annual Chamber Business Achievement Awards.  The event was very well attended and everyone had a great night of celebration.  It was wonderful to see so many nominees this year, it just show how well Caledonia is growing.

Also in February Caledonia received the news that the town will receive $150,000 for its downtown revitalization project through the Rural Economic Development Program.  We are very pleased to be awarded these funds from the Province of Ontario.  This funding will allow Caledonia to continue the great work that is already started to re-energize our local community and make it a great place to do business.

In addition, the Chamber is continuing to work with Haldimand County to utilize the funds that are set aside to improve the downtown core. 

Finally, but sure to watch for the new LED sign that is being erected on the entrance to Caledonia from the north.  The new entrance sign should be in place by the end of March.  This will allow us to promote local events in the community in a timely and efficient manner.

Please feel free to contact the Chamber of Commerce with comments or concerns.  The Chamber wants to maintain open two way communication.
