Strong communities are built when people come together for the collective good. Every resident has the power to influence positive change. That’s why Vaughan Council established a Civic Hero program to recognize citizens who make an impact.  

​Vaughan receives Canada 150 grant to support tree-planting initiatives

Trees are a symbol of growth and unity. They better our lives by offering environmental, social and economic benefits to our communities. They improve our surroundings and make our neighbourhoods feel safe. In honour of Canada 150, the City of Vaughan held a ceremonial tree planting and commemorative plaque unveiling at the Civic Centre Resource Library to pay homage to the country’s past, present and future.

​Grants available to not-for-profit groups interested in hosting an event for Canada 150
