The City of Vaughan hosted its annual Black History Month event on Feb. 22 to celebrate Black Canadians and communities that have been vital in shaping Canada’s heritage and identity. 

Laneways, cul-de-sacs, narrow streets and sidewalks are the focus this weekend

After all the heavy snowfall recently, City of Vaughan crews continue to work around the clock to clear roads, sidewalks and windrows. 

Water leaks in your home are more common than you may think. Most leaks are silent, making them hard to spot, and they could be the cause of a higher-than-usual water and wastewater bill. 

The City of Vaughan is providing tips to help you detect a leak before it costs you.
