COVID-19 Service Updates

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Vaughan has reviewed and made adjustments to its regularly scheduled spring and summer public works operations. Services have been prioritized with a focus on the safety and well-being of everyone in the community, including front-line staff. Here is a list of what is on schedule, reduced, delayed or suspended.

The City of Vaughan Forestry Department works daily to exemplify Vaughan Vision 20|20 to better serve our community. We, as a department, strive to lead and promote environmental sustainability as part of our vision for Service Excellence. This is done through the care and maintenance of the City of Vaughan’s Urban Forests which includes Boulevard trees, Green Spaces, Parks, Natural Areas, and Woodlots.

The City of Vaughan has developed a Five Year Plan to expand the Urban Forest. Managing and controlling invasive plant species as well as caring for our trees within the city will visually enhance our outdoor spaces, creating inviting spaces for visitors, businesses, and a source of civic pride. As part of promoting environmental sustainability of our Urban Forest, the department has implemented a planting program whereby we diversify our Urban Forest through strategic planting. This is done through the planting of many different species of trees within our city to minimize the effects of invasive pests and diseases that attack specific tree species. Diversification will create a stronger Urban Forest that will have a greater resistance to future invasive species.

Citizens first through service excellence is our goal as a corporation and the Forestry Department contributes to this goal through the care and maintenance of our Urban Forest.
