CALEDON NEWS

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has released a new Unsolved video retracing the final steps of a woman murdered in Trenton 25 years ago, as the search continues for those responsible.

In early 2001, 19-year-old Kathleen MacVicar moved to Ontario from her hometown of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, to begin a life on her own. On Wednesday, June 13, 2001, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Kathleen was seen leaving a friend's house, walking toward Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton, where she was living with relatives. Two days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area on the base near Curtis Road. She had sustained multiple stab wounds.

Several months after her death, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was asked to assist the then-Quinte West Police Service with the investigation.

The OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) continues to actively pursue all investigative leads to uncover what happened to Kathleen. Investigators remain hopeful that advancements in DNA technology and the release of a new Unsolved video will generate additional information and provide answers for her family.

A joint reward of $75,000 remains available for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the death of Kathleen MacVicar. The reward consists of $50,000 from the Government of Ontario and $25,000 from the City of Quinte West.

A photo of Kathleen and the reward poster are attached.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

The Town of Caledon’s Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) program has launched! 
Phase 1 of the new Residential Rental Licensing Program officially opens for Short-Term Rental Accommodations. 
This initiative is designed to improve the safety, quality, and accountability of rental housing across Caledon. By addressing issues like overcrowding, illegal units, and property maintenance, the program protects tenants and neighbourhoods while supporting responsible landlords.
What Short-Term Rental Operators Need to Know: 
• Requirement: Short-term rental properties require a license to operate (exemptions apply to hotels, motels, group homes, and approved student housing). 
• Limited-Time Savings: Introductory licensing rates are available for a limited time following launch to help operators transition smoothly. 
• Safety First: Licensed properties must comply with Ontario Building and Fire Codes and Town property standards and are subject to inspections.

Hello, I'm Allison Ingram and this is Caledon News for Tuesday, September 8th, 2026:

On Saturday, September 5th, at about 12:30 p m, Dufferin OPP were called out to River Road in Mulmur for the report of a serious collision involving a motorcycle with a driver and passenger.
As a result of the collision, the passenger on the motorcycle sustained life-altering injuries and was transported to a local hospital and then later transferred by air Orange to a Toronto area trauma centre
River Road between Prince of Wales Road and 15 Sideroad in Mulmur was closed for several hours as officers continued their investigation.

The Caledon and Dufferin Detachments of the OPP are reminding motorists to exercise extra caution as students return to school today.
With the return of students comes an increase in pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic in and around school zones. Children may be excited to return to school and may not always be aware of their surroundings. Motorists are asked to remain alert, slow down and watch carefully for children walking and cycling to and from school.
Police will be out in full force before and after school hours.
Officers will be conducting enhanced patrols in and around school zones, monitoring traffic and enforcing the rules of the road. Motorists can expect an increased police presence throughout Caledon and Dufferin County and are reminded that getting to their destination safely is more important than getting there quickly.

Motorists and business owners are pleased to see the reopening of Airport Road in Caledon East. The road which has been closed for almost 2 months for rehabilitation work, was scheduled to reopen today, but reopened slightly ahead of schedule on Friday just before the long weekend. While there is still some work and cleanup to be done, motorists can once again travel through the village and access all of the businesses with ease. 

There is lots happening in the community in the coming weeks. The 168th running of the Bolton fall fair takes place on the weekend of Sept 25-27 at the fairgrounds in Bolton. Culturefest 2026 takes place Saturday, Oct 3rd from 4pm-10pm at the Humber River Centre in Bolton. And the 3rd annual Witchfest takes place on Saturday, Oct 24th from 11-4pm in downtown Bolton. So lots to see and do over the next several weeks right here in Caledon.

and that's Caledon News, I'm Allison Ingram.
