The City values the voice of the public and is dedicated to having constructive dialogue with the community that is open, transparent, accessible and inclusive. Vaughan is committed to involving citizens, businesses and stakeholders in conversations about municipal decisions that interest and/or impact them, including this Ward Boundary Review.  

Four virtual public open houses to learn more, review alternative ward structures, view maps, provide input and ask questions were held on the dates below. Thank you to all those who participated:

• March 6 at 1:30 p.m.
• March 9 at 1:30 p.m.
• March 9 at 7 p.m.
• March 11 at 7 p.m.  

Citizen input to the Ward Boundary Review will be examined in detail by the consulting team to learn what is important to residents of Vaughan. The public’s feedback will be compared to the ideas about what exists in the population trends and in the legal constraints. A summary report will be sent to Council in May 2021 and Council will review and make a decision about whether or not to adjust the ward boundaries.
