Making Vaughan’s parks ‘smarter’!
Coming soon to a park near you – SmartParks, an exciting new pilot project that
allows parks visitors to access amenity and facility bookings, report a problem
such as litter, and make a service request with the scan of a QR code on their
smartphone!
This new initiative designed to connect residents with City services will be available in the following parks:
Reduced speed limits coming to some Vaughan neighbourhoods
As the next step in the City of Vaughan’s commitment to road
safety, speed limits in some neighbourhoods are decreasing from 50 kilometres
per hour to 40 kilometres per hour. New signage to indicate the reduced
speed limits will begin to be installed in early May, and it is anticipated
this work will be completed by the end of May.
Stormwater ponds are not for recreational use
Warmer weather may have you excited to spend time outdoors in Vaughan, but please stay clear of stormwater ponds. The City of Vaughan is reminding everyone that swimming, boating, fishing and other play are not safe in and around stormwater ponds due to the constant flow of water in and out of the pond, multiple pollutants and unpredictable water levels. The bottom of these ponds is very soft, and anyone who enters, including pets, may quickly get stuck.
Public Works is Ready and Resilient!
Join the City of
Vaughan during the week of Sunday, May 15 to celebrate its dedicated Public Works
professionals! The theme of the 2022 National Public Works Week is “Ready and
Resilient” – which the more than 400 members of Vaughan’s Public Works team demonstrate
day in and day out. The team continues to be prepared to serve the community,
remains resilient throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and strives to provide
seamless customer service to residents.
Make your next construction project a safe one
May is Building Safety Month – an important reminder for citizens and industry professionals to prioritize safety when planning construction projects. Whether building a backyard deck, renovating an indoor space or developing a condo complex, obtaining proper permits is a necessary step to ensure construction is completed safely and correctly.
