City of Vaughan Committee and Council meetings continue in February with in-person and virtual attendance options for Members of Council and the public. 

Winter can feel long and leave you dreaming of warmer weather and sunshine. To help you plan for the summer, the City of Vaughan released its biggest summer camp lineup ever with more than 75 unique camps and 25 new camps for kids with specialties in creative, culinary and performing arts, enrichment, leadership, recreation, sports, outdoor adventures and water adventures. 

Individually Designated Properties

These are properties that have been individually designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, Part IV for a specific reason such as historical or cultural.  Every designation will have a specific By-Law which details the reasons for the designation.   

Owners planning on changes to your designated property, are required to refer to their specific designation by-law and may require Heritage Vaughan Committee recommendation. 

City building doesn’t happen overnight. Well before construction begins, developments undergo a careful review by City 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. 

Water leaks can happen to anyone – and most leaks are silent, which makes them hard to find. Whether they come from your toilet, bathtub, washing machine or dishwasher, they can cause a high water and wastewater bill and costly damage to your home. That’s why the City of Vaughan is providing tips you can use to help catch leaks early – or hopefully prevent them before they even happen.
