It comes Lion Jim Doak from Sept 30, 2010. It was about 9am. I was in 6 Freeman Road the Markham Fair Lions food booth. Glenn Markham ON L3P 4G1 (905) 471-6467 Schick was cooking breakfast sandwiches for the early shift of volunteers. He had a smile on his TREASURER: face. I asked him why he was smiling. He said "I Lion Dick Peel was just thinking, you know, I've done this every 101 Ramona Blvd. year for twenty-five years". Wow! I thought. Why Markham ON L3P 2K6 (905) 294-9005 does this image stick? Because, for me, it is a vivid reminder about the value of our long term BULLETIN EDITOR: members and how much they have contributed Lion Mark Carrington to our club.

  • Markham: 225 Years in the Making It's Not About Party Lines. It's About
    Frank Scarpitti Mayor of Markham MAYOR’S REVIEW - SEVENTH EDITION OCTOBER 2019 Markham: 225 Years In The Making From fireworks, on your feet performances by the incomparable Jully Black and the talented Julia Gartha, to apple treats and endless fun, Markham’s 225th anniversary celebration during Applefest was a huge hit; and it was all about who we are as a community. Jully Black and Julia Gartha perform during Markham’s 255th Anniversary Celebration Modern day pioneers, who hail from around the world and journeyed here in search of a better life, define Markham. That same intrepid spirit led William Berczy and his settlers here 225 years ago. William Berczy helped John Graves Simcoe establish a settlement destined to become Markham Township. Together, they built houses and roads and cleared the way for navigation on the Rouge River. Markham’s early years were defined by the development of agricultural industries, something we are proud to honour and celebrate to this day. Berczy is designated a national historic person, and is renowned as one of Canada’s finest artists. Going for- ward, the Civic Holiday in August will be known in Markham as William Berczy Day. Our past, present and future are linked by the stories that brought us here, the stories that we share as one, united and diverse community. Perhaps, there is no greater local storyteller than John Lunau. The Collections Building at the Markham Museum now bears his name. He is the founder of the museum and of the Markham Historical Society. His commitment to preserving and sharing Markham’s story was extraordinary.

By Gary McWilliams, the Festival Nomad Now that Fall is in full swing, I’ve been thinking about the past 3 Festival Nomad's Report... few months and what a whirlwind it’s been!

March ~ Maple in the County (Prince Edward County) and the Buckhorn Maple Syrup Festival at the McLean Berry Farm. In 5 Flip... Flop... April we missed the Peterborough Garden Show, but our friends and Festival Correspondents, Barbara and Laurence Stephenson, went on our behalf. We did get to travel to Prescott to the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s play “Forever, Yours Jane”. It was the same simple pace in May, a visit to the Toronto Zoo for the unveiling of the Giant Panda Exhibit and then later in the month to Mississauga for Carassauga. As I said, very slow … then all heck broke loose … June and Summer happened! June started with the Bowmanville Ribfest and ended in "Scenic Lake" Kingston at Artfest Kingston. In between we visited the Haliburton Fall Tour Canadian International Military Tattoo & Festival in Hamilton, the Cobourg Highland Games, the Quinte Rodeo in Belleville at the Quinte Exhibition Grounds, the Redpath Waterfront Festival in Toronto with the launching of the Tall Ships® 1812 Tour.

    LONG TERM TOURISM DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2009-2019 Mayor Regional Councillor Regional Councillor Regional Councillor Regional Councillor Mayor Regional Councillor Regional Councillor Frank Scarpitti Jim Jones Jack Heath Joseph Virgilio Gordon Landon David Barrow Brenda Hogg Vito Spatafora Markham Markham Markham Markham Markham Richmond Hill Richmond Hill Richmond Hill York Region Chairman & CEO Mayor Bill Fisch Linda D. Jackson Mayor Vaughan Tony Van Bynen Message from Council Newmarket York Region’s Long Term Tourism Destination Development Strategy proposes directions and activities that The Regional Municipality of York can take over a 10-year period to develop a sustainable and prosperous tourism industry. It proposes to expand tourism attractors through smart investments, enhanced infrastructure and improvements to the quantity and quality of tourism products and experiences. The economic benefits are potentially enormous. In York Region, overnight and same-day visitors spent $335 million in 2007, contributing 0.4 per cent to our GDP and 0.7 per cent to our employment. But York Region is on the doorstep of Canada’s most important destination – the City of Toronto – which receives 20 per cent of all domestic and international visitors to Canada and 10 per cent of spending. We believe York Region can capitalize more on our proximity to the huge tourism market in Toronto. Our goal is to increase tourism’s contribution to our regional GDP to one per cent by 2019 and to two per cent by 2029. This would represent tourist spending of $1.1 billion. According to a provincial economic impact model, spending of this magnitude would generate more than 6,000 new jobs directly related Regional Councillor Joyce Frustaglio to tourism.
