Land Acknowledgement

Vaughan Public Libraries respectfully acknowledges that our libraries were built upon the Territory and Treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation per the Toronto Purchase agreement or Treaty 13.

We also recognize we are situated in the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee who occupied this land before the arrival of European settlers.

The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We acknowledge their contributions to the life and prosperity of this land.

As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.

We acknowledge we must do more to learn about the history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, and caretakers of this City.

Celebrating over 50 Years of Service with VPL

In 1971, the Village of Woodbridge officially became part of the Town of Vaughan, and the Woodbridge Library Board joined with the Vaughan Public Library Board to become part of a larger system of libraries. The Woodbridge Public Library operated out of a former municipal building, but after 10 years it was time to move to a new location to serve the fast-growing population.

In 1981, former Library Board Chair, Isabel Little, lead a committee to build the current Woodbridge Public Library building on Woodbridge Ave. Built into an existing historic building, this was quite a process and resulted in the lovely, bright, window-filled building we have today. This library has served the community well for the past 50 years.
