Summer is slowly winding down, but there is still fun to be had come the fall! Today, the City of Vaughan released its fall recreation program, swim lesson and aquatic leadership course schedules on vaughan.perfectmind.com.
As you continue enjoying the summer and exploring Vaughan’s many parks and open spaces, remember that keeping them litter-free is a shared responsibility. No action is too small to help prevent litter in our community. Let’s all work together to keep our city safe, clean and beautiful.
