“As our
city continues to grow, we will continue making investments in green
initiatives, such as today’s official opening of the Agostino Park expansion.
“In
Vaughan, we are committed to planning a city that places the health and
well-being of citizens at the heart of everything we do.
“We
offer countless opportunities for citizens to get outside, embrace the great
outdoors and exercise both the mind and body.
“In
Vaughan, we remain committed to safeguarding our natural environment and
maximizing opportunities for residents to enjoy our city’s parks, trails and
other outdoor facilities. There are more than 230 kilometres of signed cycling
and pedestrian routes as well as 705 hectares of City parks and tableland
woodlots throughout Vaughan.
“Vaughan
is truly a green city.
“I
encourage you to explore the wonderful expansion of Agostino Park and its new senior
soccer field, walkway connection to the playground, basketball court and mini
soccer field.
“We are
dedicated to championing a healthier and greener environment that will continue
to elevate life in our city for all residents, businesses and visitors.
“To
ensure sustainability for future generations, we are focused on sound
environmental values, including reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, planting
trees and creating pollinator habitats.
“I encourage all Vaughan
citizens, as well as visitors to our community, to take advantage of the many
programs and activities we provide.
“I would
like to thank the many people who helped see the Agostino Park expansion
project through to completion. Today’s event is an example of our commitment to
accessibility, sustainability and active living.
“All of
us benefit from a healthy environment, and all of us need to play a part in
providing for our future.”
