Vaughan employees continuously demonstrate commitment to Service Excellence
 
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua issued the following statement to recognize the beginning of National Public Service Week:
 
“National Public Service Week is dedicated to celebrating the contributions of individuals who work hard on behalf of residents here in Vaughan, as well as Canadians across the country.
 
“In Vaughan, we are blessed to have a team of professionals who remain fiercely committed to creating policies, programs and services that enable our city to run effectively and efficiently every day.
 
“The recently approved 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan is guiding our team’s efforts as we continue building on the tremendous success and momentum we have achieved throughout the past eight years.
 
“This plan – which reinforces the City’s mission, vision, values and strategic priorities – will direct the work undertaken by Vaughan’s professional administration to successfully go above and beyond to implement Council-approved city-building initiatives throughout the remainder of this term.
 
“From fire services, libraries and recreation, to arts and culture, parks maintenance and waste collection, Vaughan employees remain at the forefront of service delivery and residents have responded favourably to their efforts. In our most recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey, 97 per cent of residents agree that the quality of life is good in Vaughan and an overwhelming majority are pleased with the delivery of all services provided by the City.
 
“Public service is more than simply a job. It is a vocation. I believe that there is no greater calling than to be of service to others and no higher purpose than to make a difference to people’s lives.
 
“As a Council, we have committed ourselves to the noble values of public service, expressed publicly in our Oath of Office at the beginning of the 2018-2022 Term of Council and reaffirmed once again in the Vaughan Accord, a pledge that commits all Members of Council to serve in a manner that makes respect, transparency and accountability the cornerstone of every effort that is undertaken.
 
“I want to express my warmest and sincerest gratitude to the thousands of public servants in Vaughan and across this great nation for their unwavering dedication to service excellence, teamwork and integrity.  Thanks to you, Vaughan is the place to be!”
