Digital signs
You may have noticed digital signs across Vaughan — from small screens at community centres to large displays along major roads like Keele Street and Rutherford Road.
In total, there are more than 200 billboards across Vaughan, including City-owned digital signs and a mix of static and digital signs operated by private companies. These range from ground-mounted billboards to digital displays on railway overpasses.

Answer
Digital billboards are permanent, freestanding signs located on City-owned property in high-traffic areas. They are managed by third-party vendors and display both City messages and approved advertising from external organizations. These signs help share timely updates and information with residents while supporting broader community engagement.

As of July 2026, seven new digital billboards will be installed across Vaughan at the following locations:

Residents in the areas surrounding these future signs will be notified ahead of construction beginning. If you have any questions, you may contact Service Vaughan at service@vaughan.ca or by phone at 905-832-2281.
These signs are expected to bring in a total of approximately $10 million in alternative revenue over the next 15 years to the City of Vaughan, which help maintain low taxes and fund city building, programming and other services.
