There were two main streams for providing relief to citizens, direct relief, meaning directly providing the necessities of life, and relief work. In Vaughan, this often involved working on local roads and highways, such as the construction of Highway No. 7 and repairing culverts and bridges. In 1930, Council expenses for road work had grown from about $1500 in January to $12,000 by July.
