North Maple Regional Park (NMRP) is the City of Vaughan’s largest and most ambitious park project. Work to transform the site into a signature destination is well underway – and we’re calling on you to have a say!

Vaughan is a city in demand. And as one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, it continues to evolve. But city building doesn’t happen overnight. Well before construction begins, developments undergo a careful review by City of Vaughan staff, Vaughan Council, public agencies (such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, York Region and provincial ministries, where appropriate) … and you!
Public feedback is a vital part of the planning process and there are many ways to have a say before applications are approved.
