<\/p>\nWork has officially begun on a new courthouse north of Brampton that will deal with non-criminal provincial offences, like traffic complaints, environmental regulations and more.<\/p>\n
The more than $30-million courthouse will be a one-story building equipped with rooftop solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations, replacing the current courthouse space at Caledon Town Hall.<\/p>\n
The town says this week it broke ground on the development, which will serve as \u201ca dedicated civic and institutional facility\u201d for offences under the Provincial Offences Act. Criminal offences will continue to be heard at the Orangeville Courthouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy strengthening our justice infrastructure and supporting public safety, this modern courthouse will serve residents, businesses and Caledon\u2019s growing community for generations to come,\u201d Caledon Mayor Annette Groves said in a release.<\/p>\n
The approximately 2,295 square-metre building will include dedicated courtroom spaces, judicial offices, Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) services and a designated prosecution area.<\/p>\n
