Each December, the

Lighting. This year, the City invites everyone to tune in virtually tonight at
7 p.m. to vaughan.ca/festive to see the tree in the
courtyard of City Hall come to life!
During the event, Mayor
Maurizio Bevilacqua will extend greetings and together with Members of Council
will countdown to light up the tree. Community events, such as the annual
Christmas Tree Lighting, provide an opportunity for everyone to celebrate the
festive season, foster community togetherness and experience Vaughan’s unique
diversity.
QUOTE
“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!”
