Consultation has concluded
We’re working on the VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan – and we want to hear from you! Join the conversation.
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) is the city’s emerging downtown core. By undertaking the VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan, the City will guide the timely development of parks and open spaces in the VMC, in addition to creating a signage strategy to make the area easier to navigate. The plan presents a rare opportunity to think boldly about the city, the way people understand and move through it, and the role of parks and open space in modern urban life.
Collecting feedback from the community is vital to the success of this plan. Through collaboration with residents and stakeholders, the City is committed to developing a Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan that is innovative, accessible, sustainable and safe, and fosters connectivity, physical activity, health and wellness for all citizens.
GET INVOLVED!
Engagement on the draft VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan is now closed.
From Tuesday, Nov. 16 to Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, the City invited the community to watch a video presentation to learn about the draft plan and post their thoughts and feedback.
Thank you to those who participated! You may view the comments submitted – as well as ideas collected in the summer of 2021 – on the virtual comment wall and ideas board below.
