Update: Sports Village Proposal

3/19/2019 6:00 PM

Vaughan Council has voted unanimously to not proceed with the Sports Village proposal.

The proposal was first received by Vaughan Council at Committee of the Whole on June 16, 2015. City staff then conducted a review and brought on external experts to do an evaluation and produce a business case analysis assessing the benefits and risks, which was presented to Council at Committee of the Whole on June 6, 2018.

On June 19, 2018, Council directed staff to consult with citizens and impacted stakeholders to collect feedback on the Sports Village proposal. The public's views and opinions on this matter are important, and the City provided different avenues for them to be heard.

During the public engagement process, community meetings were held on Jan. 20 and Feb. 17. Comments were also collected through Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281 and through email at sportsvillage@vaughan.ca. A short online survey was also open until Feb. 22.
