Vaughan’s flag, adopted 2 May 1988, is here reconstructed from a website
photograph. It has proportions of 1:2 and a white field. In the centre is a red
Canadian maple leaf, just over one-half the height of the flag. A “V” shape,
formed from four blue rays, overlays the maple leaf and runs to the top edge
of the flag from its base at the centre of the flag. The three spaces between the
rays appear wider than the rays. The four stripes represent the communities
which constitute Vaughan: Kleinburg, Maple, Thornhill, and Woodbridge.
The maple leaf is for Canada and the “V” is for “Vaughan”. Michael Vite, a
15-year-old Vaughan student, submitted the winning design in a contest organized
by the city’s Industrial Advisory Board.

The city was
settled in 1792, incorporated as a township in 1850. In 1971, the new regional
government of York Region was established, acquiring policing and welfare
services from the communities it served; simultaneously, the township merged
with the Village of Woodbridge to form the Town of Vaughan. In 1991, it
officially changed its legal status to City of Vaughan.
