Green Guardians

Green Guardians is the City of Vaughan’s new environmental stewardship program – and the City is encouraging residents and businesses to get involved.

As a Green Guardian of Vaughan, you can join City-led or community-driven events and activities that promote environmental stewardship and help keep Vaughan safe, clean and beautiful.

There are two ways to be a Green Guardian:

1. Participate in existing events:

As a community member, not-for-profit or business, you can choose to participate in events run by the City, including community cleanups like the 20-Minute Makeover, tree and or bench dedications, tree planting events, and property recognition programs like Curb Appeal.

2. Create your own event:

As a community member, not-for-profit or business, consider creating your own litter cleanup in parks, neighbourhoods, trails and open spaces. You can also initiate a pollinator garden or tree/shrub planting in your community.
