The City of Vaughan’s greatest resource is its staff – and the City employs best practices to attract and retain high-quality talent. And our efforts are being noticed! Recently, the City won a 2023 Canadian HR Award in the Most Effective Recruitment Strategy category. This achievement was celebrated at the Tuesday, Oct. 17 Committee of the Whole (2) meeting by Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council during a special ceremonial presentation.
This Friday, Oct. 20 is a PA Day – do your kids have plans? Don’t worry, the City of Vaughan has you covered! There are still spots available for children aged three to 14 years old to attend one of our PA Day programs at select community centres. Pre-registration is required at vaughan.perfectmind.com.
Every November, the City of Vaughan hosts a Remembrance event to commemorate the brave Canadians who risked – and, in many cases, lost – their lives during times of war, conflict and peace.
This year’s commemoration will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. at Vaughan City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.). You are invited to attend and join Mayor Steven Del Duca, Members of Council, City staff and veterans to honour and remember Canadian service members, past and present.
Got leaves? We’re coming for them! The City of Vaughan is now collecting leaf and yard waste every week, no matter your zone, on your scheduled collection day until the week of Dec. 5.
Keep in mind, due to the higher volumes of materials in the fall, there may be pickup delays this season. If this happens, leave your waste out until it’s collected.
There is no better time than during Waste Reduction Week to start reducing, reusing and recycling! The City of Vaughan proclaims Waste Reduction Week annually to encourage you to adopt waste-less habits and educate everyone on our collective responsibility to the planet to cut down on what’s sent to landfills.
The week runs from Monday, Oct. 16 to Sunday, Oct. 22 with a waste-related theme each day to promote different ways we can all help advance a circular economy:
It’s Small Business Week in Vaughan! The City of Vaughan’s Vaughan Business and Entrepreneurship Centre (VBEC) invites you to connect and network with like-minded business owners and entrepreneurs through the many programs and events being offered throughout the week.
