“I invite citizens in Vaughan and beyond to join us virtually tonight as we bring the City of Vaughan’s Christmas tree to life! This year’s tree is a Colorado Blue Spruce from Drysdale’s Tree Farm in Egbert, Ontario, and at 36-feet tall, wrapped with 35,000 LED lights, it is sure to be a spectacular event you will not want to miss. The annual Christmas Tree Lighting is something I personally look forward to each year. It is an opportunity for us to take stock of our many blessings and rejoice in the spirit of the season. The holidays are a special time of the year, and, in Vaughan, the lighting of the tree is more than just a festive tradition. It serves as a symbol of the hope, love and light that radiates throughout our city. When we reflect on 2021, we have many significant city-building achievements to be proud of, and I want to thank the citizens of Vaughan for their meaningful contributions. Our city’s transformation is only just beginning, and I look forward to continuing this journey together. As we prepare to celebrate the holidays and welcome the new year, I wish all citizens happiness, health and peace. For Vaughan, the best is yet to come!”
- Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua
