From its agrarian roots, it has evolved to become a major urban centre rich in culture, history and natural heritage. Today, it is a City where industrious and entrepreneurial people have found economic opportunities and proudly built their own legacies. We are known for our pro-business and “can-do” attitude. Our civic brand has attracted investment and high levels of development even in the most difficult of economic times. Our safe neighbourhoods, good schools and beautiful parks and trails, as well as our world- class universities and healthcare attract talented and innovative people who settle, raise families and reinvest in our community. Growth is an important part of the Vaughan vocabulary. Council has set forth policies through Vaughan Vision 2020 and its various master plans, which will enable municipal staff to effectively and efficiently deliver services that support the City’s future growth and development in a sustainable manner. More than providing great neighbourhoods, prestigious employment areas and enriching work, we believe that connecting people through learning, recreation and leisure activities in healthy settings stimulates new ideas and sharing.
