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

Seeing a Better Tomorrow

Dr. Mimmo Gagliardi - Optometrist

For some people, seeing is believing. And for everyone else, having the gift of sight is usually something that’s taken for granted. Every day, the majority of us somehow forget how precious each breathtaking view truly is. The splendour of what we look at might only be realized when our sight finally starts to fade. By then it will be too late, unless the proper steps are taken ahead of time.

Dr. Mimmo Gagliardi has been practicing optometry in the Woodbridge and North York communities for the past 25 years. “Even people who have 20/20 vision can have an eye disease.
