Procurement strategies to prioritize Canadian goods and services

On March 4, Vaughan became the first municipality in Ontario to ban U.S. suppliers. Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council took decisive action to protect the local, provincial and national economy by approving a new procurement strategy that prioritizes Canadian products, goods and services, and bans U.S. suppliers from competing on or being awarded municipal contracts. More information about this policy is available in this statement issued by Mayor Del Duca.

 

Below are Q and As to help you navigate through the changes.
