Citizens can now make a Skype deputation for items on the agenda

The City of Vaughan recognizes the importance of protecting the citizens of Vaughan from the global COVID-19 pandemic, while also moving the city forward. Supporting this direction, electronic-participation Committee of the Whole and Council meetings will continue this month.

Public consultation is an important part of the planning and city-building process. Vaughan Council is committed to ensuring a fulsome and transparent public consultation process while safeguarding the health and safety of all staff and citizens until in-person meetings are permitted. While Vaughan City Hall remains closed to the public, citizens can participate in meetings and have their say by:

submitting a written communication for review by Members of Council as part of an agenda item. All written communications can be emailed to the Office of the City Clerk at clerks@vaughan.ca.
making a live electronic deputation via Skype during the meeting. To pre-register to make an electronic deputation at the meeting, please contact the Office of the City Clerk at clerks@vaughan.ca or call Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281.

Requests must be received by noon on the last business day before the meeting.

The communications must:

relate to a matter on the agenda.
clearly state the request or message trying to be conveyed.
include name and contact information.

Please be advised, the name and address for any citizens submitting a communication – written or electronic – will appear in the public record and will be posted online following the meeting. For more information about submitting a communication or making a deputation, visit vaughan.ca/HaveYourSay. Questions regarding this process can be directed to Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 or accessvaughan@vaughan.ca.
