Grow with Vaughan is back … and growing! Building on the success of the sponsorship program’s first year in 2020, it will once again support the business community next spring through cost-effective opportunities that provide visibility for small businesses while contributing to the beautification of the neighbourhoods they serve in Vaughan.

In addition to sponsoring a City flower bed, businesses will now also have the chance to sponsor a pollinator bed or a large flowerpot. Each location available for sponsorship has been priced based on traffic counts, size and visibility in the surrounding area.

With nearly 19,000 businesses in Vaughan – more than 87 per cent of which are small businesses – Grow with Vaughan generates additional interest in the City’s Corporate Partnership Program while continuing to beautify neighbourhoods through relationships with the business community by nurturing future growth potential and community pride.

Grow with Vaughan incorporates environmental stewardship into the City’s social and economic initiatives while fostering economic prosperity, investment and social capital through sponsorship opportunities for the business community – key priorities outlined in the City’s 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan.

The program is part of the City’s Horticulture Operations Beautification Strategy 2.0, which Council recently approved at the Sept. 27 Council meeting. The report highlights how the Grow with Vaughan program has the potential to offset up to $75,000 in operating costs each year.
