We’ve always loved to celebrate all the fun events that happen in York Region, from farmers’ markets to major gatherings. While many public events have been cancelled this year, and we may not be out in the community as much as we usually are, we're still here. If you've got a question about vivaNext rapidway construction in your area, please feel free to contact your Community Liaison.
