York University and the Region of York have invited interested municipalities to make formal presentations on their merits as potential host locations for a future proposed satellite campus.

A City of Vaughan staff report recommends council confirm its support at a meeting March 18 to join the “York in York” campus initiative as part of the University’s proposed expansion beyond the northern boundary of Toronto. The report also recommends staff prepare a response and presentation to promote Vaughan as the desired location for the expansion.

Meanwhile, a report by Arnold Neufeldt-Fast to a March 18 council meeting of the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville recommends the town prepare a presentation to promote itself as a site for the proposed campus. The report cites the town’s transit links, highway access and size and location as favourable conditions for a satellite campus.
