20-Minute Makeover In honor of Earth Day on April 22, Vaughan residents will come together for the City’s 20-Minute Makeover community litter cleanup. This initiative is part of the City’s commitment to protecting the environment for future generations and empowers residents to take an active role in keeping their neighborhoods, streets and parks clean and litter-free. Tree and Bench Dedication program The City’s Tree and Bench Dedication program is available year-round for residents to beautify their neighborhoods while honoring a person or occasion. Participants can purchase a park bench or tree, along with a plaque, as a meaningful tribute.
Corporate and Community Tree Planting During the spring and summer seasons, the City facilitates corporate and community tree plantings to encourage residents and local businesses to contribute to expanding the tree canopy within the city’s green spaces. This program also serves to educate and empower the community, fostering involvement in creating a more sustainable and healthier environment for future generations to enjoy.
To date, 47 dedications have been issued through the City’s Tree and Bench Dedication program.
Community planting The Community Planting Fund supports the enhancement of Vaughan’s natural environment by creating or improving greenspaces and wildlife habitats. Once awarded, the plantings will take place in early spring, contributing to the health, resilience and sustainability of the environment.
