Donate now: www.varleymckayartfoundation.com 04 Mayor Frank Scarpitti message fromMAYOR the On behalf of the City of Markham and Members of Council, I would like to welcome you to the third annual Rouge: Varley Gala. This year, the City of Markham celebrates its historic 225th anniversary and as Canada’s most diverse community, we are proud of the rich heritage and traditions each culture brings, strengthening and enhancing the multicultural fabric of our society. We believe in fostering and promoting artistic expression. The Arts have the power to unite and inspire us; while these shared experiences bring us closer as a community. I would like to extend my appreciation to everyone attending the gala tonight in support of The Varley Art Gallery’s art acquisitions, conservation of art collections, educational programming, exhibition research and volunteer programs. The Varley Art Gallery is a preeminent cultural destination. It has grown exponentially over it’s more than 20 year history, hosting high profile and critically acclaimed exhibitions, and has attracted audiences from all over the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. A visit to the gallery is a chance to explore beautiful moments and powerful creations. Art fascinates us; it captures our imaginations and presents different perspectives to the world around us, while reflecting the ever-changing landscape of our diverse community. Thank you to the organizers, dedicated volunteers, sponsors, donors and community ambassadors who passionately believe in the benefits of making art more accessible to all. Wishing you an enchanting and enjoyable evening. Sincerely, Frank Scarpitti Mayor, City of Markham Louis Li Photography MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR, VARLEY-MCKAY ART FOUNDATION OF MARKHAM Welcome to our third annual Rouge: Varley Gala! Our goal tonight is to raise $125,000 which will benefit the Foundation and assist in supporting the Varley Art Gallery. By bidding on the items in our live and silent auctions, buying a bottle of wine (or more!) from the Wine Pull, and picking up some gift certificates at the Restaurant Grab & Go, you are making a huge difference in helping us reach our goal. The Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham is an advisory board to the Varley Art Gallery but its most important contribution is in providing funds to the gallery to assist with its exhibition and art acquisitions, the conservation of their art collection, and public and educational program support. In 2019, we hired two animateurs who provided engaging tours to visitors at the Varley and assisted the gallery’s Education Coordinator. We also hired a Summer Camp and Community Events Volunteer Supervisor who was a tremendous asset to the gallery’s program team as she coordinated the many volunteers involved in their camp and outreach programs. We would not be able to fund these positions without the revenues raised through our fundraising efforts, particularly this gala. We thank our guests, donors and sponsors for their generous and unwavering support. Enjoy the gala! Terrence Pochmurski Chair, Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR, VARLEY ART GALLERY OF MARKHAM In 2019 the City of Markham celebrates its 225th anniversary. Established in 1794, the person considered to be Markham’s founder is William Moll Berczy, a writer, adventurer and settler, but also an architect and very significant portrait painter. It is important to remember that culture has been a central component of life in Markham since its earliest days. As the Varley Art Gallery celebrates its 22nd anniversary, we continue to act as a vital cultural hub for the region and play an essential role in community building. Through exhibitions and programs we bring together people of disparate language, heritage and ethnicity to participate in dialogue and to shape conversations about who we are as a community and where we want to go. At the individual level, participation in the arts is highly beneficial for virtually everyone. It assists in the acculturation of new Canadians, helps keep the elderly connected and engaged, encourages self-confidence in young people, improving their academic success and increasing awareness and critical thinking. By joining us today at Rouge: Varley Gala you display your support not just for the Varley Art Gallery, but for the Markham community as a whole. I invite you to visit us at the Varley Art Gallery to see in person the many ways in which we support the public good.

THE DOUBTS THE DOUBTS are a group of experienced musicians who know how to get people out of their seats and onto the dance floor. And they can do it by covering just about any style of music, from hard-driving 70s classic rock favourites by the likes of Aerosmith and ZZ Top, to up-to-the-moment Top 40 hits by Adele, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and lots more. The finishing touch that puts THE DOUBTS over the top is vocals - and plenty of them. Tag-team lead singers Erin Benoit, Eric Lam and Neil Teixeira nail any genre by any artist, male or female. And there are often three or four-part harmonies filling out the mix. Women in the audience jump to their feet and everyone goes home sweaty and smiling. THE DOUBTS are available for nightclubs, corporate events and any other venue where anyone wants to shake it real good. 08 LIVE AUCTION RULES & INFO INFORMATION FOR GUESTS AND PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS Bidding is by paddle number only and required ONLY for the Live Auction.

    June 17, 2013 Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Members of City Council City of Markham 101 Town Centre Boulevard Markham, Ontario L3R 9W3 Dear Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Members of City Council, RE: June 17th Council Meeting regarding Report No. 29 – June 11th DSC Item 6: Review of Parkland Dedication By-law, Policies and Practices – Final Recommendations Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments for the City of Markham’s review of its Review of Parkland Dedication By-Law, Policies and Practices. On behalf of the members of the Building Industry and Land Development Association, we kindly submit the following comments for your consideration at the June 17th City Council meeting. BILD has been actively engaged in this review with City staff and we appreciate their commitment to our discussions. We strongly support the mechanism of a graduated approach for calculating parkland dedication/CIL as we believe it will help to encourage high density residential development projects. BILD believes this is a very progressive step, and we applaud the City in this regard. While the industry agrees on the mechanism of a graduated approach, we maintain our original position (as noted in our June 10th letter to DSC) that the graduated approach could be strengthened to be more reflective of the built form in Markham. Our original suggestions are as follows: 1. The first category: would maintain that less than 2.5 FSI would utilize a rate of 1.2 ha/1000 people. 2. The second category: above 2.5 FSI would be revised to a 0.3ha/1000 people (to a maximum savings of 38% overall or described as 0.75ha/1000 people).

    Back in the Tower Again

    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.

    TA13.2 REPORT FOR INFORMATION Chief Executive Officer's Report Date: November 24, 2016 To: The Atmospheric Fund Board of Directors From: Chief Executive Officer GOVERNANCE & ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS Provincial endowment The Transfer Payment Agreement between TAF, the Province of Ontario (Ministry of Municipal Affairs – the Ministry) and City of Toronto came into effect on October 30, having been signed by all parties. The Provincial government’s $17 million contribution was recognized at the TAF@25 event, as was the City of Toronto’s leadership and vision in establishing TAF, long before climate change was headline news. Approximately 400 guests heard from Senator Art Eggleton, Minister of Municipal Affairs Bill Mauro, and me about TAF’s founding, some current initiatives, and our future work in the Greater Toronto & Hamilton Area. An implementation plan has been developed by staff which identifies one-time, condition-triggered and ongoing requirements. For instance, TAF will provide the Ministry with our GHG Quantification Methodology within 30 days of signing, within 180 days amend the Grants & Programs Committee Terms of Reference to include regional expertise in the membership, and develop and publish new grantmaking criteria within 60 days. We are commissioning a review of TAF’s core management systems which will identify areas that may need reinforcement to implement our expanded mandate with excellence and comply with all new requirements. The Atmospheric Fund has been registered as TAF’s operating name; Toronto Atmospheric Fund remains our legal name. TAF’s Auditor has conducted a review as of September 30 to determine the Net Asset Value of TAF’s current endowment which will inform the proportional sharing of expenses for the balance of the year; proportionality for subsequent years will be established via the Annual Audited Financial Statements.
