The City of Vaughan has been hit by a major ice storm that has impacted our community over the past 36 hours. As Mayor, my top priority is your safety and getting our city fully operational again. Our emergency operations centre is fully staffed and taking all necessary steps to address the challenges created by the storm. I have spoken directly with Premier Kathleen Wynne who expressed her concern to me for the citizens of Vaughan and offered her assistance.
