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 Markham Council: Front row (from left to right): Regional Councillor Joe Li, 905-479-7749, [email protected] Mayor Frank Scarpitti, 905-475-4872, [email protected] Regional Councillor Gordon Landon, 905-415-7534, [email protected] Middle rows (from left to right): Ward 4 Councillor Carolina Moretti, 905-479-7751, [email protected] Ward 1 Councillor Valerie Burke, 905-479-7747, [email protected] Regional Councillor Jim Jones, 905-479-7757, [email protected] Ward 7 Councillor Logan Kanapathi, 905-479-7748, [email protected] Deputy Mayor Jack Heath, 905-415-7506, [email protected] Ward 8 Councillor Alex Chiu, 905-479-7752, [email protected] Back row (from left to right): Ward 2 Councillor Howard Shore, 905-479-7756, [email protected] Ward 5 Councillor Colin Campbell, 905-479-7750, [email protected] Ward 3 Councillor Don Hamilton, 905-415-7549, [email protected] Ward 6 Councillor Alan Ho, 905-479-7758, [email protected] 2 | Markham Life – Winter 2013/14 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.

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.

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. Markham Life – Winter 2013/14 | 9 Our Community 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. 10 | Markham Life – Winter 2013/14 Our O ur Community C ommunit y 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.

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.

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.

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. Tips to Reduce Fire Danger in Your Home 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Install and maintain smoke alarms on every floor. Be alert when you cook. Keep pot handles turned inward and children at least one metre away from the stove. Check all your electrical cords regularly and replace any that are cracked or frayed. Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children. Use deep ashtrays and never smoke when in bed or feeling drowsy. Keep portable and space heaters at least one metre away from anything that can burn. Prepare and practise a fire escape plan with every member of your household.

If you know someone who doesn’t speak English, please let them know they can call 911 in any emergency and they will be understood. 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. 20 | 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.

Our Community Land|Slide: Possible Futures Photo credit: Will Pemulis 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.” Markham Life – Winter 2013/14 | 25 Our Community Advertisement 26 | Markham Life – Winter 2013/14 Markham Bylaw Information Markham Bylaws and Winter Weather form with your cheque to the return address indicated on the form.

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.
