Vaughan Public Libraries (VPL) is partnering with the City of Vaughan’s Public Works teams to explore five Canadian children’s books for families to explore.
StoryWalk combines the wonders of nature with the joy reading. An immersive experience, the story unfolds one page at a time with each step along the trail.

StoryWalk is available along the following public trails:

• Mackenzie Glen District Park (Ward 1): “Friends for Real” by Ted Staunton
• Nort Johnson District Park (Ward 2): “Sometimes I Feel Like a River” by Danielle Daniel
• Lawford Park (Ward 3): “Pink is for Everybody” by Ella Russell
• Sugarbush Heritage Park (Ward 4): “Biindigen!: Amik Says Welcome” by Nancy Cooper
• Marita Payne Park (Ward 5): “The Most Magnificent Idea” by Ashley Spires

VPL partnered with several Canadian publishers to bring the StoryWalk program back to Vaughan. This year’s collection features five books written by diverse Canadian authors.
