Shine Appeal Program is one of numerous initiatives and special events planned to celebrate the holiday season as part of My Vaughan Shines WinterLights Celebrations.

The Shine Appeal Program recognizes homeowners and business for their efforts in celebrating the holiday season.

All residents and businesses are invited to take part in this great community event that showcases the pride and imagination of Vaughan citizens. This will provide a wonderful opportunity for residents to showcase their neighbourhoods and bring holiday cheer to the community.

From November 30 through to December 18, the Vaughan Shine Appeal team will be in your neighbourhood looking for homes that have Shine Appeal. Properties from each of the five wards will be highlighted. Homes that stand out with "Shine Appeal" will receive a "Shine Appeal" lawn sign and a door hanger which highlights WinterLights Celebrations happening throughout Vaughan. Residents can display the lawn sign in front of their homes during the WinterLights season. Shine Appeal recipients will be invited to the Festive Season Celebrations to be held on Friday, December 18, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Vellore Cultural Intepretive Centre, 9541 Weston Road, Woodbridge. All residents and businesses are encouraged to decorate their homes and help.
