Is there a new development proposed for your neighbourhood? Want to learn more about it and have your say before any decisions are made? It will be coming to a City of Vaughan Committee of the Whole Public Meeting where you can share your thoughts.
If this will be your first experience participating in a public meeting, here’s what you need to know:
The 2023 Mayor Steven Del Duca Annual Charity Golf Classic was a sold-out event attended by more than 100 golfers who gathered today at Copper Creek Golf Club to support the Spirit of Generosity, an initiative that is inspiring positive change in Vaughan and beyond.
The start of fall means there will be plenty of leaves to rake up – that’s why the City of Vaughan’s leaf and yard waste collection is returning on a weekly basis soon! Yard waste materials will be picked up every week, starting the week of Oct. 17, on your scheduled collection day.
With a mission to establish Vaughan as a premier tourism destination, the City of Vaughan’s Tourism Vaughan team undertakes key strategic projects that align with the Vaughan Destination Master Plan (VDMP). Through product development, marketing and education and strong collaboration with and in support of operators, the VDMP lays out a comprehensive plan for developing Vaughan’s tourism-related industry cluster.
We have a plan to make Vaughan’s streets safer! Through the City of Vaughan’s Complete Streets Guidelines, a framework will be developed to better accommodate all road users, including people who walk, bike, take public transit or drive. It will also help guide the planning, design, operation and maintenance of the City’s street network to create safer and more enjoyable spaces for all who travel through Vaughan.
The City of Vaughan manages the curbside collection of organics, recycling, garbage, leaf and yard waste, and appliance and large metal items. These items are all picked up by the City’s contractor, Miller Waste Systems.
The City’s current 10-year waste collection contract is nearing its end, so we’re actively preparing for the next one, taking effect in 2028.
Every year, the City of Vaughan goes all out for National Public Works Week – a celebration of the people who keep our roads safe, our water clean, our parks beautiful and so much more. Our efforts to mark this occasion are being recognized – with the Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA) National Public Works Week Award!
Vaughan’s roadways just got smarter! The City of Vaughan is always looking for ways to enhance its commitment to delivering high quality services to its residents – one way is through its Road Patrol Manager. This tool relies on artificial intelligence to identify road deficiencies, like potholes. Quick detection of road deficiencies means the City can complete repairs faster, extending the life of local road infrastructure and freeing up resources to be used elsewhere.
The City of Vaughan’s current municipal waste collection contract is nearing its end, which means we’re actively preparing for the next 10-year contract, launching in 2028 – and we want to hear from you!
The waste collection contract helps determine the scope of waste services, the collection schedules, what can and can’t be collected, the equipment and personnel needed, and much more.
The City’s Economic Development team works hard each day to make Vaughan a place where entrepreneurship, business, tourism, and art can prosper and grow – and their efforts are being noticed once again!
Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council recognized the department during a special ceremonial presentation today for receiving two prestigious International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Excellence in Economic Development Awards.
