    WELLNESS. THE NEW LUXURY BY KYLEMORE We believe that discerning home buyers recognize that luxury is more than just a “what.” It is also a “where” and a “how”. It is an expectation that wellness be the focus of every aspect of the way their community is designed, and their home is made. Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. It is a dynamic process of change and growth; a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Wellness is the truest form of luxury. LIVE. WELLNESS.

    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.

  • 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.

  • REPORT for INFORMATION Chief Executive Officer's Report
    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.
