Every year, at the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, we honour the brave Canadians who served and continue to serve our country. 

As a reflection of the City's commitment to commemorate the remarkable service and sacrifice of Vaughan citizens, Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council invite the community to the City of Vaughan’s 2024 Remembrance Day.

Following the service, members of the public are invited to gather at the Woodbridge Memorial Pool and Arena (5020 Hwy 7) for refreshments.

GTAA and Nav Canada staff will be on hand to meet with residents with updates about ongoing efforts to mitigate noise pollution and address any questions or comments about ongoing operations at Toronto Pearson Airport.

For more information about the open house, email community.engagement@gtaa.com or call 416-776-5739.

Your safety and well-being is our priority. That’s why the City of Vaughan remains committed to working with York Regional Police (YRP), other organizations and all levels of government to keep our community safe. 

Vaughan is home to many beautiful ponds, including more than 150 stormwater management ponds, which are human-made and designed to temporarily hold water before releasing it back into the environment at a controlled rate. They are not intended – or safe – for recreational use!

Water constantly flows in and out of stormwater ponds, so the water levels are always changing, making any activity in or around them unsafe. So, when you’re out and about this fall, please keep a safe distance from these ponds.

200 trees planted with funding from Tree Canada

The City of Vaughan’s urban forest – the trees we enjoy throughout the community in our yards, parks, ravines and more – is growing! 

Today, a special event was held to plant 200 trees in North Maple Regional Park thanks to a $10,000 grant from Tree Canada. Mayor Steven Del Duca, Members of Council, City staff, community volunteers and representatives from Tree Canada were on hand to help out.  

Visit one of our booths for safety tips, trivia and prizes! 

Did you know you could have less than two minutes to evacuate safely once a smoke alarm sounds? Working smoke alarms save lives, and, in an emergency, every second counts.
