Building a responsible capital budget for the City of Vaughan is a challenging process.  Resources must be allocated in a way the balances needs and aspirations of the present while meeting the requirements of longer term financial sustainability.  The pressures of new initiatives, maintaining existing infrastructure and growth requirements must be balanced against available funding, the impact on future operating budgets and the staff resources to undertake and manage capital projects. The Financial Planning & Development Finance department is responsible for the capital budget process

As the summer weather subsides, you may notice more wasps and hornets buzzing around. While these insects benefit ecosystems because they control insect populations, they can become aggressive when their food supply diminishes. Managing their nests can be dangerous, so the City of Vaughan is providing resources on what to do if you see a wasp or hornet nest on public or private property.

Legislation such as the Ontario Municipal Act, The Planning Act and the Building Code Act provide rules and limits on the application, pricing, and reporting of specific city permits, licenses, user fees, and other charges. These rules require Municipalities to continually monitor fee policies, processes, calculations and reporting methods in order to comply.
