Vaughan Health Campus of Care Feedback
Community residents presented the Vaughan Health Campus of Care ("VHCC") with valuable insight and feedback on the development of the new health campus of care site at a public Open House on April 28th, 2010 at the Vellore Village Community Centre.
The Open House was held in advance of the City's Official Plan Amendment to re-designate the property on the north side of Major Mackezie Drive between Jane Street and Highway 400 from "theme park" to "major institutional," "special study area" and "natural area." This will allow for the establishment of the new hospital and other much needed health care services.
