IN-PERSON | HISTORY & HERITAGE | WORKSHOP

Ever wondered who lived on your property before you—or what stories are hidden in the land around you?

Join staff from the City’s Cultural Heritage Team and Archives for an interactive evening workshop exploring how to research the history of local properties. Participants will be introduced to key archival sources such as maps, community histories, land records, and historical documents, and will learn how these materials can be used to trace ownership, land use, and community change over time.

Perfect for homeowners, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Vaughan’s past, this workshop offers a practical introduction to discovering the stories behind the places we live.

City of Vaughan Cultural Heritage Team

With a population of more than 340,000 residents, Vaughan is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, home to more than 217 ethnic or cultural origins with 113 different languages spoken. It is a vibrant, diverse, inclusive and equity-based community that recognizes and celebrates arts, culture and heritage.

We recognize that Vaughan is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people today. As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
