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!

Are you protecting your water pipes from freezing?

Just as you bundle up for the winter weather, you also need to keep your home’s water pipes warm! Low temperatures can cause pipes to freeze, leak or burst if they are not properly protected from the cold. Help prevent that from happening with these easy tips from the City of Vaughan: 

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

Public consultation remains a vital part of the planning and city-building process. There are many ways you can participate in meetings and have your say, including:

Speaking in-person

Whether it warms up outside and some snow melts, or there is rain in the forecast, catch basins need to be kept clear.

We need your help preventing this from happening!
