Message from Deputy City Manager Emilie Alderman
This was an exciting year for Public Works, which included the launch of the Automated Speed Enforcement program, the implementation of our Urban Forest Management Plan and the completion of the City’s largest and most comprehensive waste collection engagement initiative to date. Whether you are beautifying our City, keeping our roads safe, maintaining some of the City’s most critical infrastructure, responding to emergencies or working behind the scenes to further the success of our portfolio, your work touched the daily lives of residents across the City and continues to make Vaughan a City that is second to none. Throughout the year, many of you have worked around the clock to maintain safety within our community and keep our residents moving – showing remarkable leadership, readiness and resilience. And for that, I want to extend my upmost appreciation and gratitude.
The theme of our 2024 Yearbook, “Creating Connections: Building Bridges in Public Works,” demonstrates the collaborative spirit of our “One Team” approach to delivering Service Excellence. This theme highlights one of our team’s greatest strengths – our commitment – to one another, to the community we serve, and to the work we do to keep our City safe, clean and beautiful. I want to begin by thanking each and every one of you for how you have uniquely contributed to our collective achievements this year. Once again, these successes are not the result of any one particular team or by chance – they are the result of the work of a unified group of Public Works professionals with a common vision, a collaborative spirit and an unrelenting passion to make our City better.
