Vaughan is home to many beautiful flowers, plants and trees that help enrich the environment. But some of those plants – like noxious weeds – can be harmful, so it’s important to know what to do if you spot one. The City of Vaughan is providing resources to help you identify noxious weeds and avoid coming into contact with them.

Do you live in or travel through the Huntington Road and New Kleinburg area? If so, you’re invited to get involved in our road safety review!

City of Vaughan Committee and Council meetings continue in June, 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

The City of Vaughan strives to foster a diverse, inclusive and equitable community where all residents, employees, businesses and visitors are empowered to engage and participate. As we celebrate National AccessAbility Week, here are five ways we’re working to build a more accessible Vaughan: 

1. The 2023 to 2027 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

The study area includes Huntington Road, from Major Mackenzie Drive to Kirby Road, and the New Kleinburg neighbourhood area, which includes both major subdivisions accessible by Timber Creek Boulevard and Barons Street. 

This area was selected based on our commitment to continue to monitor and address traffic congestion, traffic circulation, truck traffic movements, operating speeds, pedestrian and cycling safety and on-street curbside activity. 

Full-day programming available on June 7

Do your kids have plans for the last P.A. Day of the school year on Friday, June 7? If not, we have you covered! The City of Vaughan is offering full-day programming for children aged four to 14 years old at select community centres. Registration is required at vaughan.perfectmind.com.

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. 

Celebrate with us on June 12
