A clean winter wonderland starts with you!

As winter approaches, it’s the perfect time to stake a moment to reflect on how we can all help keep Vaughan safe, clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy, even in the colder months. Litter left on the ground damages soil and nearby ecosystems, but this can be avoided with proper waste-disposal etiquette.

 

Let’s work together to make sure trash ends up where it belongs – in the garbage, recycling or green bin – and not on our roads, walkways or in parks.

 

Protect your loved ones from carbon monoxide – the ‘silent killer’

Did you know many Ontario homes have an average of four to six fuel-burning appliances that produce carbon monoxide (CO)? And that more than 65 per cent of all CO deaths and injuries in the province happen within homes? 

 

It’s the first day of Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week, which runs until Tuesday, Nov. 7, and Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) is taking this opportunity to remind you of the risks CO can pose and ways you can help keep your family safe from this hazard.

 

Streamline Development Approval Fund

On January 19, 2022, the Province met with city mayors and regional chairs at the Ontario Housing Affordability Summit to discuss the housing crisis and coordinate efforts to increase the supply of homes across the province. Premier Ford announced at the Summit that more than $45 million in funding will be provided to help Ontario’s 39 largest municipalities modernize, streamline and accelerate processes for managing and approving housing applications.
