The City received four awards from Festivals and Events Ontario for 2022
Throughout the year, the City of Vaughan provides free, fun family-friendly events that are also award-winning! In recognition of its commitment to delivering Service Excellence, the City’s Recreation Services department received four awards from Festivals and Events Ontario (FEO) for events held in 2022. The awards were presented during a special ceremonial presentation at today’s Committee of the Whole (1) meeting.
It’s the season for April showers! The City of Vaughan’s stormwater system ensures rain and melted snow make their way back into ponds, streams and lakes. But if a catch basin is blocked or covered by leaves or other debris, this water has nowhere to drain, which can cause ponding and street flooding. You can help ensure this doesn’t happen!
The resident living closest to a catch basin is encouraged to help clear it if it’s safe to do so – especially before or during heavy rainfall.
