The year 2015 was certainly one of transition for me! And through Just Sayin’ Caledon I found my voice once again. This community I love so much is full of passion and talent. And kindness and creativity. And Just Sayin’ has allowed me to continue to be in touch with it all. To hear and share the fascinating stories that are the real Caledon.
This year marks my family’s 25th year in Bolton. Compared with some of you, we are still newbies. There is a reason for that. Actually I’m sure there’s more than one. But, bottom line, that know-your-neighbour, help-a-friend, support-a-local-business, care-for-your-environment, appreciate-the-heritage, kind of small town character still exists here. Alive and well and doing fine!
In less than a year Just Sayin’ Caledon has blossomed to a combined 4,500+ community through social media and email. And my goal is to take that over 5,000 this year.
Coming up in the first quarter of 2016 Just Sayin’ will bring you interviews with more amazing Caledon personalities including:
Ramona Milano – Actress from Due South and Degrassi: The Next Generation
Allan Thompson – Mayor, Town of Caledon
Dave Forfar – Chief, Caledon Fire Department
