Safety is our top priority. As the global COVID-19 pandemic evolves and the Omicron variant spreads quickly across Ontario and Canada, the City of Vaughan continues to work with all levels of government to keep the community safe.

UPDATED JANUARY 12: Vaughan remains vigilant in the fight against COVID-19. The City of Vaughan has moved into Step 2 of the Province of Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopening. All City of Vaughan community centres and the City Playhouse Theatre remain closed to the public until further notice.

In-person winter recreation programs and swim lessons continue to be postponed. Planning for a modified, condensed winter session – to start soon after provincial restrictions are lifted – is underway. Details will be shared as more information becomes available.
