The role of culture in municipalities is an important one. It celebrates diversity by highlighting traditions found in various cultures. It creates community bonds by making people feel better about where they live and it encourages city-building by attracting businesses and tourism.

The City of Vaughan offers a variety of programs and events to celebrate differences in culture. Residents, visitors and businesses are encouraged to get involved and help to sew the social fabric across the city.

 

We respectfully acknowledge that the City of Vaughan is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people today. As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
