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.

Celebrate Black Canadians at Vaughan City Hall on Feb. 22 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

Black Canadians and communities have been vital in shaping Canada’s heritage, culture and identity. The City of Vaughan has proclaimed February as Black History Month, a celebration that brings people together to pay tribute to the remarkable Black Canadians who have made a positive and enduring impact in the community, and highlight the richness of Black cultures and histories.  

All you need to know about the City’s sidewalk-clearing operations

Following the recent major winter storms, the City of Vaughan’s crews continue cleanup efforts to address the large accumulation of snowfall – including on sidewalks throughout the community. Residents walking to school or work are urged to add extra time to their commute and take precautions on sidewalks. 

Bring a Bridge Competition

The 2025 Open House featured an exciting engineering challenge to engage high school students from across Vaughan. The Bring a Bridge Competition challenged students to build a bridge using glue and popsicle sticks, with the goal of building the strongest structure. This year, students from Father Bressani took top place.  

A big thanks to all the students who participated. Your bridges were impressive - and REALLY strong! We can't wait to break some more bridges in 2026!
