Enjoy delicious three-course meals at 20 participating local restaurants from July 21 to Aug. 4

Calling all foodies: are you ready to enjoy delicious flavours from around the world right here in Vaughan this summer?

Today, Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council officially kicked off Vaughan Flavours, our new food festival that will run from Monday, July 21 to Monday, Aug. 4 at 20 participating local restaurants. 

With hot weather in the forecast this weekend, remember that extreme temperatures can be dangerous for everyone, especially outdoor workers, older adults, some people living with disabilities and children, particularly infants and pets.

Here are some tips from the City of Vaughan to beat the heat: 

If you feel dizzy, weak or overheated:

• go to a cool place
• sit or lie down
• drink water
• wash your face with cool water
• avoid exercising during the hottest parts of the day

About Saigon Park

In 2024, Council passed a Member’s Resolution to name the new district park coming to the Rutherford Road and Highway 27 area, Saigon Park, to commemorate and celebrate Vaughan’s South Vietnamese community. While the park will contain some standard park elements, like sports fields or courts and a play area, a portion of the park will be dedicated to commemoration.
