John Street west bound closed between July 17th and August 11th, 2023 .......
John Street will be closed on the west direction between July 17th and August 11th, 2023The work will consist of a replacement of a cast iron pipe through the valley adjacent to the Pomona Valley Tennis Club.
The residents on Baywood Crt, Candice Gt and Julia St will have to detour to Proctor or Royal Orchard, and come back around to their residence. Signs will be posted identifying the detour route during the construction phase. What the City learned during the previous emergency job in 2020 is that when local traffic was allowed to access the area from Bayview, there were excessive vehicles that would follow those cars into the courts, which then would have to turn around, causing a log jam of vehicles and also a safety concern to any local pedestrians. Cars would also drive through the construction zone.

Dear Residents,

We are being invited to the first in-person guest speaker event since late 2019! The details are below. Please feel free to circulate to your neighbours.
This is very interesting as these findings were found when our Local School E.J.Sands was demolished on Henderson Avenue.
Hope to see you there.

Date: May 9, 2023
Time: Refreshments 7:15 pm; Speaker: 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Description: Known to local Thornhill residents since at least 1885, the Thornhill site (the current site of E.J. Sands Public School) is an ancestral Huron-Wendat village and cemetery dating to the early 16th century. During the 1920s the site was investigated by A.J. Clark, a talented avocational archaeologist, artist, and resident of Vaughan. Recent archaeological work at the site in advance of development has determined the presence of significant features and artifacts.
