Here at the City of Vaughan, it is important to keep the community safe, informed and moving throughout the winter.  

You can stay informed about the City’s winter operations by:

• visiting vaughan.ca/snow.

After a wintry day, you may have snowbanks piled up on either side of your driveway, which could leave you wondering where to place your bins and bags curbside. Don’t worry – we have all the tips to help make sure your waste collection days are a breeze this season!

Setting out waste in the winter

Do you have a stormwater management pond in your neighbourhood? Vaughan is home to more than 150 of these human-made ponds, which are designed to temporarily hold water before releasing it back into the environment at a controlled rate. While they are nice to look at on a winter walk, they are not intended – or safe – for recreational use!

The 30 km/h Speed Limit Public Engagement is now closed. Thank you to all who participated!

Know the risks. Be prepared. 

While you might be spending more time inside during the colder months, it’s still important to keep winter safety top of mind. That’s why Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) is providing essential tips to keep you and your family safe throughout the snowy season. 

Be aware of carbon monoxide risks
