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.
Do you have a water leak?
Learn how to check for
leaks to avoid high bills

Whether they come from your toilet, bathtub, washing machine or dishwasher, they can cause a high water and wastewater bill and costly damage to your home. That’s why the City of Vaughan is providing tips you can use to help catch leaks early – or hopefully prevent them before they even happen.

What to know before it snows
Keep parked cars off the roads during and after
a snowfall so they can be plowed
As snow starts to pile up, the City of Vaughan is reminding
everyone to keep parked cars off the roads during and after snowfalls to allow
City crews to clear streets and sidewalks properly. On-street parking blocks
our plows from safely passing around parked cars, and streets and sidewalks may
not be plowed as a result.
Your snow questions: ANSWERED
Where should I put my
shovelled snow? When will my windrows be cleared? And more!
As City of Vaughan crews continue to clean up in response to
this week’s snowfall, the City is answering some of the top snow-related
questions received from residents.
