The City of Vaughan is continuously working to improve roads, parks, facilities and other essential infrastructure that keep Vaughan moving forward. These investments are made with your hard-earned tax dollars, and I am committed to using them responsibly and transparently.
I recognize that construction can sometimes cause disruptions. I want you to know what’s happening in your community, and what to expect during the process.
