Great Services and Low Taxes
— A Winning Combination
Our Community
M
arkham is known as a
city of firsts, particularly for our achievements on taxes, and our investments in state-of-the-art facilities
and services.
Frank Scarpitti
Mayor, City of Markham
Earlier this year, Markham became
the first Ontario municipality to
be ranked #1 for fiscal management by the Frontier Centre for
Policy through its influential Local
Government Performance Index.
This is an outstanding accomplishment for Markham.
Also noteworthy, our continuous improvement program has
achieved $14 million in expenditure reductions and revenue
enhancements over the past five years, avoiding a 14 per cent
increase in taxes.
In a comparison of 2013 municipal tax rates for the 27 municipalities within the GTA, Hamilton, Niagara and Simcoe, an independent publication, Novae Res Urbis (NRU), confirmed Markham’s
tax rates are among the lowest within the GTA.
We have the lowest commercial, industrial and multi-residential
tax rates among this group, and the third lowest residential tax rate.
We have also expanded services and made significant investments
in new municipal facilities and services such as our conversion
of over 12,000 street lights to an intelligent energy efficient LED

lighting system. The dark-sky friendly system has a long life span
(approximately 20 years) and will provide almost $1 million in
annual savings.
In February, Council has approved an operating and capital budget
totaling $463.5 million to pay for roads, bridges, fire services, new
facilities, parks, recreation and library services, arts and culture,
and waste management. Each year, we invite residents to be part of
the budget process through community meetings.
We’re adding a new interactive city budget tool for residents this
year. You can learn more about the City’s budget and share your
views on how tax dollars should be spent by using Citizen Budget
to assign tax dollars to services. Try it out at markham.ca.
Being a city of firsts, it’s not surprising we’re also a city of celebrations. Mark your calendars for:

Discovering
Markham’s Hidden Gems
– Something for Everyone
Tell us what you think
I
n this issue of Markham Life, two
Markham staff set out on a journey to
discover and experience some of the great
programs offered at our community facilities. Not an easy task given the ninety-plus
pages of programs we feature in each issue
of Markham Life offering something for
residents of all ages and abilities.
Recently Markham received a Pan Am
delegation at two of our community centres
– Angus Glen and our new Cornell Centre
and Library, and they marvelled that a
municipality could offer such high quality
facilities and programs. And, municipal
representatives with the delegation were
equally impressed.
Markham continues to set a high standard
for others through the quality and variety
of its facilities, programs and services, and
providing opportunities across four seasons.
Indoor facilities such as the Angus Glen
tennis courts, the St. Roberts domed artificial
turf sports field, bocce courts at Centennial
and the rock climbing wall at Armadale are
only a few examples. And, for outdoor enthusiasts, our new outdoor ice rink is available
for free public skating seven days a week in
the winter.
Markham also has special programming and
facilities for activities such as cricket, yoga,
Tai Chi and Chi Gong, new and expanded
programs for our youth and older adults,
and programming for special needs such
as ADD/ADHD and autism. It’s all part of
what we do to serve the most diverse City
in Canada – ensuring high quality culture,
leisure and recreation opportunities for all,
at an affordable price.
We’d like to hear what you think. What we
can do more of or differently.
Let us know how we are doing. Write us at

ach year on Remembrance Day, the
City of Markham commemorates the
men and women who have served
Canada in times of peace and conflict, from
World War I to the present day. This year, four
veterans will be recognized. The following is
the story of Arthur Thomas Kendall.
Arthur Thomas Kendall (Art) was born July 25,
1925, in Richmond Hill, the second youngest
of Walter and Rebecca Kendall’s nine children.
When Arthur was five, the family moved to
Toronto where Art later attended Western
Tech High School and enjoyed a variety of
sports, including hockey and baseball.
Yearning for adventure, Art received his
parent’s permission to enlist in the Royal
Canadian Air Force before his 18th birthday.
Basic training took him across Canada,
from Edmonton to Montreal to Quebec
City, then Portage La Prairie, Manitoba,
and Trois-Rivières, Quebec, where he did a
month of commando training. He graduated in January 1944 as an Air Gunner and
was shipped to England in March 1944 on
board the New Amsterdam. In October,
following training on Vickers Wellington,
Short Stirling and Avro Lancaster aircrafts,
his eight-member crew of Englishmen and
Canadians arrived at RAF Tuddenham in
Norfolk, and were assigned to the No. 90
Squadron of 3 Group, Bomber Command.
His Lancaster crew made 35 successful
missions between October 1944 and March
1945. Shortly before Victory in Europe Day,
or VE Day, he returned home as a Flying
Officer. Art is the last remaining member of
his crew following the passing of his Bomb
Aimer in 2012.
After the war, Art settled in Toronto and
took accounting at Ryerson Polytechnical
Institute. He joined his brothers in a specialty
metal fabricating business, and eventually,
the Workers Compensation Board. Art met
Joan McVanel at a friend’s wedding and
the two were engaged in 1952 and married
in October 1953. They still live in the same
family home in Etobicoke where they raised
four children. They now spend their time
enjoying their five grandchildren.

Building Markham’s Future Together
Time to Share Success and Talk About the Future
I
n 2007, Markham identified six strategic priorities to plan for
and manage the dramatic growth and change the community will experience over the next several years. Th is process
involved asking residents and businesses in the community what
they thought the future direction of Markham should be. The
feedback confi rmed that residents agreed with the original six
strategic priorities and 31 associated action plans, which formed
the basis for Markham’s strategic direction, Building Markham’s
Future Together (BMFT). In 2012, a seventh priority was added,
resulting in the seven strategic priorities of Growth Management,
Transportation and Transit, Environment, Municipal Services,
Leisure, Diversity and Economic Development.
The ultimate goal was to create a sustainable community that could:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Effectively manage the challenges of population growth
Protect our neighbourhoods, land, water and natural habitats
Encourage economic growth
Deliver high-quality programs and services that are cost-effective,
responsive and meet the diverse needs of residents
Ensure safety is a priority
Create healthier, greener communities
Six years later, we have delivered outstanding results in the face of one
of the most challenging economic periods in recent history. The time
has come to share these results with you and talk about what needs to
be done going forward.
In mid-October, we kicked off our BMFT ‘Road Show,’ which is now
touring several Markham facilities until January 2014. It includes a
display outlining some of our most notable achievements, along with
an interactive kiosk so you can dig a little deeper into the evolution of
BMFT, to date.
Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Members of Council will host an Open
House at the Markham Civic Centre in January 2014, and everyone
is invited! Come out and hear more about what is helping to build our
city, and get to know your neighbours a little better in the process.
To learn more about Building Markham’s Future Together and the
BMFT Road Show, visit the Markham website and fi nd us on social
media.

Angus Glen Golf Club to Host Historic
Pan Am Games Golf Competition
I
n September, the TORONTO 2015 Pan American/Parapan
American Games Organizing Committee (TO2015) announced
that Markham’s Angus Glen Golf Club, one of Canada’s most
prestigious golf courses, will host the first-ever golf tournament at the
2015 Pan Am Games.
“Since opening in 1995, Angus Glen has helped put Markham on the
map as a gracious host venue for major national events and tournaments, such as the Canadian Open. We know in 2015 they will once
again do us proud when the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am
Games come to our city,” said Mayor Frank Scarpitti.
The four-day 2015 Pan Am Pro-Am golf competition is tentatively
set for July 16–19, 2015, a year before golf returns to the Olympics for
the first time in more than 100 years. The competition will be played
on Angus Glen’s south course, which is currently being redesigned.
“We’re excited to announce that the first gold medals ever awarded in
golf at the Pan Am Games will be presented on the course at Angus
Glen,” said Ian Troop, chief executive officer of TO2015.
“Angus Glen, which has played host to both the LPGA Tour and PGA
Tour—a testament to its world-class stature—is a great choice for
the debut of men’s and women’s golf at the Pan Am Games,” said the
Honourable Michael Chan, Minister responsible for the Pan/Parapan
American Games. “This, along with other Games venues in Markham,
will put an international spotlight on the region and showcase our
talented athletes.”
In addition to golf, Markham is also hosting water polo, badminton
and table tennis during the Pan Am Games in July 2015. Table tennis
competitions will take place in August 2015 at the landmark Markham
Pan Am/Parapan Am Centre, currently under construction in
Markham’s developing downtown core.
Germany Culture and
Business Mission 2013
O
n September 5th, 2013, Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Councillor
Carolina Moretti, Chair of the Economic Development
Committee, led a seven-day civic and business mission to
Germany, joined by 14 delegates from the Markham community.
The mission began with a visit to Nördlingen, Markham’s sister city
and home of Markham’s founding settlers. The special relationship
between Nördlingen and Markham spans more than 220 years. The
delegation attended the official unveiling of “Markham Street” and the
Historic Wall Festival – Stadtmauerfest.
The second stop was Munich, Germany’s high-tech hub, home to the
global headquarters of Giesecke and Devrient and Siemens, companies with important investments in Markham. Mayor Scarpitti and
delegates met with corporate senior executives to discuss opportunities for further investment in Markham.
The City of Markham also partnered with the German Canadian
Business Club and the Canadian Consulate in Munich to host a business luncheon to promote Markham and Canada as a competitive
investment location.

the improvements on the Main Street.
Reconstruction of Main Street Markham North, between Highway

Markham Life – Winter 2013/14
F
lato Markham Theatre is already
regarded as one of Canada’s premier
performing arts venues – and it’s right
in your own backyard! Over the summer,
Flato Markham Theatre underwent substantial renovations and improved accessibility
for patrons of all abilities. The up-closeand-personal experience audience members
enjoy is now even better.
The installation of a new seating system
increases the theatre’s ability to accommodate mobility devices such as wheelchairs.
New lighting and a centre-aisle handrail
help audience members get to their seats
easily and safely, and a fully accessible
washroom is available on the main level.
Assisted hearing devices are also available
free of charge.
The accessibility needs of artists performing
at the Theatre were also considered. Complete
accessibility to the Theatre’s backstage area is
now possible with a wheelchair lift and the
addition of a fully accessible washroom.
After almost 30
years, the theatre
was also in need of
a facelift. With new
seats, carpeting and
curtains in place
for the 2013-2014
season, the 527-seat
performance hall has
a more vibrant look
and feel, representative of Markham’s
many unique communities.
Flato Markham Theatre is an important
cultural venue that welcomes over 125,000
guests to more than 300 culturally diverse
events each year. It offers comprehensive
educational and community outreach initiatives including student matinees, youth
camps and artist residencies, in addition to
its professional entertainment series. There
are numerous performances presented by
community organizations and corporate
partners, as well.

Young Markham Boy
Alerts Grandmother to Fire
T
his summer, two-year-old Dhruv Rajani was playing in his backyard,
under the watchful eye of his grandmother, when he saw “steam” coming
from a neighbour’s house. Dhruv pointed, telling his grandmother, Mrs.
Sheela Rajani, about the “steam.” In fact, he saw smoke coming from the neighbour’s kitchen.
Mrs. Rajani, who does not speak English, called her son at work to tell him about
the fire. He in turn called 9-1-1, which resulted in the immediate response of
Markham Fire and Emergency Services’ Crew One from Station 95 located on
Main Street Unionville.
Thanks to Dhruv’s curiosity and persistence, and his grandmother’s presence of
mind, firefighters put out the kitchen fire quickly, limiting damage to the home and
saving two family pets. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
On August 30, Fire Chief Bill Snowball, along with Ward 4 Councillor Carolina
Moretti and Deputy Chief Dave Decker recognized Dhruv for his help with a certificate of appreciation and a small gift.

80% Waste Diversion Target Ahead of Schedule
T
he Best of the Best – Markham’s
Roadmap to 80% Diversion is the
ambitious waste diversion strategy
approved by Council in 2012. The strategy
contains 10 initiatives and programs with
the aim of achieving 80 per cent waste diversion at the curb before the end of 2014.
Key initiatives and programs within the
plan include the following.
Clear Bag Program is the mandatory
requirement for all Markham residents to use
clear garbage bags as of April 30, 2013. At the
same time, the City eliminated its three-bag
limit and tag program, allowing residents to
put out an unlimited amount of separated,
non-recyclable garbage in their clear bags
each waste collection day. Non-compliant
bags containing more than 25 per cent
recyclable or items banned from disposal are
left at the curb with educational material. To
date, Markham is the largest municipality in
Ontario to adopt a clear bag program.

Markham Life – Winter 2013/14
Mandatory Material Separation Bylaw
requires residents to separate their waste
into four streams – recyclables, compostable
material, garden materials and garbage.
Zero Waste for Schools Program encourages and supports the adoption of zero waste
practices in all Markham schools. Currently,
all 25 separate schools in the City receive
weekly recycling collection, and there are
already 10 zero waste York Region School
Board schools.
Curbside Electronics and Battery
Collection Ban requires residents to drop
off their unwanted electronics and batteries
at the Household Hazardous Waste and
Electronics Recycling Depot located at 300
Rodick Road in Markham. There are also
several battery recycling drop-off locations
around the City.
Thanks to the efforts of Markham residents,
Markham achieved an 81 per cent curbside
waste diversion rate as of June 2013 – more
than a year ahead of schedule. This positions
Markham as a curbside waste diversion
leader in North America.

Possible Futures

O
ver the course of three weeks,
35 national and international
artists transformed the Markham
Museum’s 25-acre, open-air setting into a
unique, large-scale public art exhibition.
From September 21 to October 14, the
Landslide exhibition took visitors through
Markham’s history, its quickly changing
present and the endless possibilities of its
future.
This collaborative art project involved everything from digitized diaries and augmented
reality to 3D works of art. The exhibition
explored the themes of multiculturalism,
sustainability and community.
A number of programs and events were also
offered during the exhibition – from film
nights and artist talks to moderated panels
that brought together community stakeholders, local experts and Landslide artists
to discuss the exhibition’s core themes.
Landslide successfully delivered a unique
community engagement initiative that
challenged the norms and caused visitors to
expect the unexpected at every turn.
This project was lead and curated by York
University professor Janine Marchessault
who co-curated The Leona Drive Project and
the Museum for the End of the World at the
internationally-acclaimed Nuit Blanche in
Toronto.

New LED Street Lights
Save money and energy
M
arkham is embarking on a major replacement of over
12,300 street lights on most collector and arterial roads in
the city. The conversion to new intelligent Light Emitting
Diode (LED) street lights will continue until April 2014.The replacement program represents about half of Markham’s total street
lights. The new LED lights will improve visibility for pedestrians
and motorists, reduce light pollution, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and energy costs.
“The new lighting system will reduce our energy costs and the carbon
footprint of our street lights. The result is a more energy efficient,
sustainable Markham,” said Mayor Frank Scarpitti. “The new LED
system also allows city staff to remotely monitor energy-usage and
outages and can be integrated with other city management systems.”
Benefits of the LED program:
•
•
•
•
•
50 to 60 per cent lower maintenance costs due to the 20-year life
span of LED lighting units;
$1 million (approx.) in annual savings;
Elimination of the five-year group re-lamping program and
regular night patrolling;
50 to 60 per cent reduction in energy costs from the 12,300 street
lights;
Elimination of up-light that produces obtrusive sky glow from
these lights, meeting the dark-sky friendly requirements of the
International Dark-Sky Association.
Councillors Howard Shore, Don Hamilton, Mayor Frank Scarpitti,
Regional Councillor Gordon Landon, Councillors Alex Chiu, Valerie
Burke and Alan Ho introduced the new LED street light.
“... a more energy efficient,
sustainable Markham.”

form with your cheque to the return address indicated on the form. Click on our Online Services at
www.markham.ca for complete details.
Here are a few things to keep in mind this winter:
Snow Removal: The snow you (or your contractor)
remove from your driveway must be deposited on
the boulevard of your own property. Snow must not
be pushed into the road or onto boulevards across
the street from your home.
2. Parking: Parking rules ensure that our streets
are clear to accommodate traffic flow, emergency
vehicles and snow ploughs. During winter months,
parking on both sides of residential streets severely
restricts access for emergency response vehicles.
Markham Winter Parking Community Safety
Awareness Program requires that vehicles must be
parked on the odd side of local residential streets
between November 15 and April 15. This restriction
will not apply to streets with existing posted parking
restrictions.
Parking is not allowed on City streets from 2:30 a.m.
to 6:00 a.m. Though temporary parking permission
can be granted for overnight visitors at most times
during the year, exemptions are not granted between
November 1 and March 31 when street parking will
interfere with snow removal.
6. Taking a Cab? Look for the Markham plate!
Licensed Taxicabs in the City of Markham may be
identified by this distinctive red and white licence
plate. Vehicles licensed as taxicabs by the City are
inspected for safety and model year limits, and
drivers must carry commercial vehicle insurance.
As well, taxi drivers must be licensed by the City
of Markham, which requires criminal and driver
record checks. Taxi drivers must complete training
and testing.
7.
Opening a Business in Markham? If you plan to
operate a business in Markham, you may require a
business licence from the City. Restaurants, stores
selling food or tobacco, and personal service shops
such as spas and auto repair garages, are among the
businesses that must be licensed. To obtain more
information or to find out if your business requires a
licence, contact the City of Markham Licensing and
Standards office at 905-477-5530.

4. Wildlife: As the temperatures begin
to drop, our urban wildlife look for
winter den sites, sometimes within
area homes. To animal proof your home
be sure your chimneys, roof vents, and
any existing openings are screened. Also,
to prevent easy access onto your roof, trim
back trees and vines away from the roof
edge. To arrange for a complimentary wildlife audit of your home, contact the City Bylaw
Department at 905-477-5530. To report an incident
regarding wildlife in distress, orphaned or injured,
please call the OSPCA at 1-888-668-7722 or visit

Sign Management
905-479-7782
To enhance the City’s award-winning urban streetscapes, the
placement of mobile and temporary (A-Frame/Banner) signs are
regulated within the community. Permits may be obtained from
the Bylaw Enforcement & Licensing Division for short-term
placement of these signs. Commercial advertising signs on public
boulevards are prohibited and are subject to immediate removal by
enforcement staff.
Zoning
905-475-4743
If you wish to determine what uses are permitted on a property
in the City and the standards that apply to those uses, you must
submit a written zoning inquiry. A fee may apply in some cases.
Road Authorities - Maintenance
Maintenance is handled by a number of organizations. Roads
within Markham are “owned” by one of five road authorities:
City of Markham, Region of York, City of Toronto, Ministry of
Transportation or SLF Joint Venture (Hwy. 407 ETR). In general,
roads that extend beyond the Markham boundaries (e.g., Woodbine
Avenue, 16th Avenue, Highway 7) are not the responsibility of
the City of Markham; they fall under the jurisdiction of another
authority. For a listing of road authorities and who has responsibility for maintenance, visit our website or call 905-477-5530.
Waste Management
905-415-7535
Markham’s current curbside diversion rate is 80 per cent – one of
the highest municipal diversion rates in Ontario. The City has an
ambitious new waste diversion program for schools and condominiums. Our diversion programs encourage reducing, reusing,
recycling, composting, and embracing and promoting a zero waste
policy. A leader in zero waste recycling programs, Markham is
one of a handful of municipalities to have received two Recycling
Council of Ontario (RCO) Platinum Awards for achieving toprecycler status.
With bi-weekly waste collection, Big Belly Solar Compactors on
Markham Village Main Street and Unionville Main Street; Zero
Waste special event containers; 450 parks recycling cages; 1,200
Super Mailbox recycling containers; and 192 public space recycling
containers, Markham is on its way to being a zero waste community.
Hours for Markham Household Hazardous
Waste Depot
To better serve Markham residents, the Region of York expanded
the hours of the Markham Household Hazardous Waste and
Electronics Recycling Depot. The depot, on Rodick Road at Miller
Avenue, is open Thursday to Monday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is
closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and all Statutory Holidays. For
more information, visit our website.
Waterworks 905-475-4862 (after hours 905-477-7000)
Markham’s Waterworks division provides a safe and sufficient
supply of water to all system users in our community. Qualified
staff will answer inquiries from the public regarding water services
and sanitary sewer issues. Waterworks operators are licensed by
the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and receive ongoing
training to ensure that the water and wastewater (sanitary sewer)
systems are operated according to the current regulatory standards
and requirements.

City Celebrates Seniors’ Contributions
O
n October 1, Mayor Frank Scarpitti and members
of Council along with the Seniors’ Hall Of Fame
Awards Committee members celebrated the contributions of Markham’s Seniors and over 40 nominees.
The awards ceremony and reception held at the Markham
Civic Centre coincided with National Seniors Day.
This year’s recipient of the Mayor’s Seniors Hall of Fame
Award is Peter Mason (centre, front row). Peter’s service to
his community began early in his career. However, Peter’s
greatest contributions to our community are in the development of our hospital and two of our cultural centres. From
1988-1990, Peter was the founding president of the Markham
Stouff ville Hospital Foundation (MSHF) which raised $6M
towards the hospital’s construction. Peter returned in 2008,
and remains today, as Vice Chairman and Director of the
MSHF. Together with Mayor Frank Scarpitti, they co-chair
the Capital Campaign to raise $50M for equipment to
support the expansion of the Hospital, one of the most successful suburban hospital campaigns in Canada.
Peter was also a Chairman of the then Markham Theatre for
Performing Arts and co-chaired its fundraising campaign
(1991-1995). Later, as Director of the Varley Art Gallery
(1996-1997), he supported the fundraising campaign which
led to the opening of the Gallery in 1997.
Peter’s contribution has extended beyond Markham’s borders. In 2001, Peter served as a Member of the Justice of
the Peace Review Council of Ontario. In 2012, Peter also
received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award.
(Top) Members of Council (back row) and members of the Seniors Hall of
Fame Committee (middle row) joined Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Gail Leet,

Award while Carol Wong (centre left) and Angela Morris (centre right)
received the Meritorious Award.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga poses are ‘active relaxation’
poses that are designed to enhance deep
relaxation and promote proper alignment and
healing for the whole body. The postures are
held longer than other postures to allow the
spine and body to realign itself and promote
healing. Props, such as pillows, straps, blocks
or blankets are used to support the body and
allow for the release of stress and tension.

Please note that cameras and videotaping will ONLY be permitted on Week #1 and Parents Day (Week #5.) Swim lessons WILL RUN on
long weekends with the exception of a lesson falling on a Statutory Holiday. Note: It is preferable that participants attend all lessons in
their level. However, candidates will be accepted even if it is not possible. It should be noted that participants attending all lessons will
progress faster than those unable to do so. Sorry there are no makeup lessons. We are unable to accommodate unattended children on
the pool deck. Please remove all outdoor footwear when accompanying your child on the pool deck to their lesson.

e in the City of Markham strive to keep our pools clean but we all know that
accidents can happen. So if there is a pool fouling during your lesson, we will
provide alternate programming such as dry land training, or move your class
from the small pool into the big pool. You will also receive a FREE swim pass to come
back and enjoy swim time with your family. Want to avoid the hassle? Here are 4 simple
steps to preventing pool fouling:

Lessons: 30 min., 9 Lessons; Fee: $78.50
We encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them
know they can do it themselves (thank you very much). These
preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water.
We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll try floats on
their front and back, and glides on their back while wearing a
Personal Flotation Device. They’ll learn to get their face wet and
blow bubbles underwater.

 Ratio: 4:1; Ages: 5-12 yrs.;
Lessons: 45 min., 9 Lessons; Fee: $137
These swimmers will master shallow dive entries, eggbeater kicks,
and foot-first sculling. Surface dives will take them down to
underwater swims. They’ll refine their front crawl, back crawl, and
breaststroke over 50m swims of each. Then they’ll pick up the pace
in 25m sprints and endurance swims of 100-200m.
Prerequisite: 5 years, Swimmer 4.
H4O Swimmer 6
 Ratio: 4:1; Ages: 5-12 yrs.;
Lessons: 45 min., 9 Lessons; Fee: $137

for 1 min. while changing directions. They’ll develop strength and
power in head-up front crawl or breaststroke over 25m. They’ll
easily swim 100m front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and
complain about the 4 x 25m sprints in interval training. The 200 to
300m endurance swim will be a piece of cake.
