Community Support & Engagement
Brampton-Caledon Airport is more than a place to fly. It is an economic engine for the region, a community gathering place, and a source of employment, education, and cultural enrichment. The airport operates entirely without government funding or taxpayer support, and makes a positive financial contribution to the Town of Caledon each year.
