The members of the Vaughan Community Wellbeing Coalition included: City of Vaughan, United Way Toronto, York Region District School Board and others. Some of the opening remarks were offered from City of Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua & Chair of Vaughan Tony Carella. There were many panelists who fielded questions and some of the Keynote speakers included: internationally recognized educator, Charles Pascal & the former Ontario Minister of Finance and current Chancellor of York University, Greg Sorbara. Overall, it was an informative event that gave the community a glance at what’s going on in the community and what to expect in the near future.
