Truck yard and job site security in Vaughan, Concord and Woodbridge

Local and live

Two railways, three highways and plenty of new land

Vaughan hosts major terminals for both of Canada's big railways: CN's MacMillan Yard, which spans the Concord and Maple area, and the CPKC Vaughan Intermodal Terminal on Rutherford Road in west Vaughan. Highways 400, 407 and 427 run through the city, including a recently completed 6.6-kilometre expansion of the 427, with the 401, 404 and 410 minutes away. The City's economic development office counts 160 logistics companies with 9,670 employees, plus 1,050 distribution and e-commerce companies with 21,000 employees.

Growth brings construction on top of freight. The Vaughan Enterprise Zone holds one of the largest supplies of vacant employment land in the GTA, and new industrial buildings mean job sites full of tools, materials and equipment. Contractors here know the risk: York Regional Police charged two men after 15 thefts of tools and construction equipment from commercial vehicles across Vaughan between February and March 2024, worth more than $100,000 in all.

For a Concord trailer yard or a Woodbridge job site, the approach is the same. Sigma's technicians install cameras and speakers, AI person and vehicle detection flags movement after hours, and a live agent decides what happens next: a live, instant talk-down, a call to police, or a note in the report for the site manager. The video is kept as evidence, and yard checks add parking reports and visual seal checks on video for trailers waiting on a rail move.
