Since 1960, the third week in May has been celebrated as National Public Works Week. Municipalities across Canada use this week to educate, engage and inform the public about the essential role public works plays in the quality of life of the community. Equally important, is the opportunity to promote public works as a career choice and recognizing those who currently serve in these vital roles.

Each year, National Public Works Week has a unique theme and this year’s is “Stronger Together.” In the past year, Vaughan’s Public Works team has demonstrated what it means to be stronger together. By working together, the impact citizens and public works professionals have on their communities is magnified. Our Public Works employees continue to provide seamless service delivery throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and for that we are thankful.

From May 16 to 22, 2021, the City of Vaughan will recognize National Public Works Week and the dedicated staff who go above and beyond to provide the community with front-line services that safeguard and enhance the quality of life in this growing city.

 

On Friday, May 21 at 1 p.m., the City will marked National Public Works Week by hosting a virtual event to highlight the great work done by our Public Works professionals, demonstrating how this team makes Vaughan an amazing place to work and live.

 

The City invites you to share your thanks and appreciation for the more than 350 Public Works professionals who dedicate their time and talents to making the city run as effectively and efficiently as possible every day.
