A Communal Quest for Vindication

A Toronto Life magazine feature disheartens the Vaughan community, whose major accomplishments are clouded with claims of corruption and scandal.

Every time I’m asked where I’m from I hesitate. I pause because I want to avoid the know-it-all smirk. I equivocate because I don’t want to hear the toxic and discriminative comments that fall from ignorant lips. That’s not fair to me or any other resident of Vaughan who lives life according to the law.

I’m not naive, but Vaughan is primarily a city full of heart, ­not villains. So why do cantankerous mediums continue to pollute our clean air with what appears to be anti-Italianism and acrimonious sound bites? Read more

Green Initiatives

Vaughan is one of the first municipalities in the province of Ontario to do this,” says Vaughan Mayor Linda Jackson. Read more

Love on the Street

In life we have choices. We can love the world for all the beauty that it holds or we can sit there adding up all the negatives. While love has certainly taken some heat for being blind at times, you don’t have to put on your rose-coloured glasses to see that there’s a lot about Vaughan to venerate.

Instead of simply taking it from us, City Life magazine took to the streets to get some feedback from the people that make this city tick. While stopping to talk to those who live here, work here or simply commute here, it was plain to see that Vaughan is something special.

We came with one simple question, and left with a wealth of unique answers. What do you love about Vaughan? Read more

Believe me – it’s not you, it’s me

I don’t require years of expensive therapy to come to grips with this issue. I am prepared to acknowledge it up front – I have a commitment problem. Not as far as people are concerned. I have a number of friends dating back to pre-kindergarten and a husband of almost 27 years. I’m talking about my inability to commit to a purse. Mating oneself to a handbag is just too critical a decision for me to get over. After all, no other accessory, article of clothing or member of my family is as attached to me as closely, or spends as much time with me day in and day out, as my purse. I should clarify that I am referring to my everyday purse, not the occasional dressy evening bag or the abbreviated run-out-to-a-movie kind, neither of which need to come up to the rigorous standards required for an acceptable everyday purse.
