The time to give thanks and celebrate Thanksgiving with loved ones is just around the corner. Before making holiday plans, please be aware of the following City of Vaughan facility closures and modified hours on Monday, Oct. 10.   

In 2021, Vaughan became the first municipality in Canada to endorse Treat Accessibly, an initiative aimed at making Halloween trick-or-treating an activity every child can participate in - regardless of their ability. Treat Accessibly aligns with the City’s goal to foster an inclusive community where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can thrive. 

The city of Vaughan continues to transform. As a result of its high standard of living, accessible location, world-class amenities, development options, subway connections and so much more, Vaughan continues to attract significant opportunities for investment in residential, commercial and industrial projects, year after year.

The City of Vaughan is committed to advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace and community – and these efforts are being noticed! Recently, the City won a 2022 Canadian HR Award in the Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion category, which was celebrated at today’s Council meeting with a ceremonial presentation. 

During a ceremonial presentation at the Sept. 28 Council meeting, Mayor and Members of Council announced the City of Vaughan has achieved three International Organization of Standardization (ISO) certifications from the World Council on City Data (WCCD) – a Platinum ISO 37120 certification for 2020 and 2021, and the ISO 37122 Early Adopter Smart Cities certification.
