Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua issued the following statement after chairing the Ontario Municipal Leaders Summit on Antisemitism hosted by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) on Friday, Jan. 21:

On New Year’s Eve, you may have resolved to spend more time cooking, reading or exercising, but have you thought about making a resolution to drive safely? Road safety remains a top priority, and the City of Vaughan encourages you to take this opportunity to commit to safe driving in 2022 and beyond. That resolution and adjustments to your driving habits may save a life.

Following Monday’s unprecedented blizzard,  the City of Vaughan’s winter operations crews continue to clear snow from sidewalks throughout the community. Residents walking to school or work should allow extra time and take precautions on sidewalks.

The City of Vaughan thanks residents for their patience and support as crews clean up from Monday’s major blizzard. With record amounts of snowfall not seen since 2008, crews have worked diligently to keep the community safe. This includes clearing windrows – a service that did experience delays due to the massive amount of snow that fell in a short period time.
