Hi Bill,
Thanks for the feedback. OSM is updated accordingly.
I also changed "City of Prince Edward County" to "Prince Edward" (I
didn't receive any comments on that one). "City Of" updates in
Ontario is now complete (at least until someone adds another one).
Updates to "Town Of" are now in progress. If anyone has comments
about how to handle the following please do speak up:
3053 Town of the Blue Mountains => "Blue Mountains" [remove "the"]
14 Town of Caledon (Bolton)
2 Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville (Stouffville)
2 Town of Caledon (Sandhill)
1 Town of Saugeen Shores (Southampton)
1 Town of Mono (Rosemont)
1 Town of Huntsville (Port Sydney)
1 Town of Clarington (Enniskillen)
Following towns, I will be updating "Municipality Of" (after that
"Township Of"). The list for "Municipality Of" is:
22881 Municipality of Chatham-Kent
9906 Municipality of Clarington
3962 Municipality of West Grey

I can speak to Maple, living a few km north of it. The OSM wiki states:
—CLIP—
Use place <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=suburb to
identify a major area in a place
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=town
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dtown> or place
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=city
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dcity> with a
distinct and recognised local name and identity. Suburbs may have
uncertain boundaries, may overlap with other suburbs, and are often
best mapped using a node.
For areas within a suburb, the tag place
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=neighbourhood
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dneighbourhood> will
usually be used. If necessary, place
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=quarter
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dquarter> may be
used for an area of a large settlement which is smaller than a
suburb and larger than a neighbourhood.
—END CLIP—
and on that basis I'd say yes, Maple is definitely a suburb of
Vaughan, as are 1/2 of Thornhill, Concord, Woodbridge, and
Kleinburg. Purpleville and Nashville should likely be classified as
neighbourhoods, and Hope and Burrlington (note double "r") as
pioneer communities.
16796 Town of Markham, has been a city for a few years.

The following 2 are not changed, as per my previous comment that I
will not update the name if it does not exist in NRCan without
further review here.
1) 3 City of Vaughan (Maple)
Probably "Maple" should in the addr:suburb field instead?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple,_Ontario
2) 6165 City of Prince Edward County
There is a "Prince Edward" as a City in Ontario not "Prince Edward
County" as a city. Need to drop the word "County"
