Calling all young artists, creators, foodies, entrepreneurs and sports and fitness enthusiasts!
We’re celebrating YOU(th) in honour of National Youth Week. From Wednesday, May 1 to Tuesday, May 7, the City will host a variety of FREE activities for youth ages 10 to 17 at Vaughan community centres, fitness centres and the Vaughan Studios & Event Space.
