North Maple Regional Park (NMRP) is the City of Vaughan’s largest and most ambitious park project. Work to transform the site into a signature destination is well underway – and we’re calling on you to have a say! 

As Phase 2 of construction wraps up in the park, the City is beginning to create the NMRP Master Plan. This long-term plan will outline development, programming and management for the full 900-acre site. It will focus on future park areas that are currently not available for public use. 

Do you have plans for Canada Day yet? Don’t worry – the City of Vaughan has you covered! Join us tomorrow, Monday, July 1, at Boyd Conservation Area (8739 Islington Ave.) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for our Vaughan Celebrates Canada Day event. 

We have an exciting lineup of FREE entertainment and activities to keep you busy all day long, including our headline performer, Kardinal Offishall!

Vaughan is a city in demand. And as one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, it continues to evolve. But city building doesn’t happen overnight. Well before construction begins, developments undergo a careful review by City of Vaughan staff, Vaughan Council, public agencies (such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, York Region and provincial 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.
