“ I would like to see Markham embrace more celebrated traditions, for example, a city-wide cultural festival featuring all the diverse backgrounds our city has to oơer. This could feature foods, iconic products, and fashions from all across the world. While keeping old traditions, this event will also create a ‘mosaic culture’. I think Markham is already one of the most culturally vibrant communities in Canada, if not the world!” – Victoria Chok, Founder of Markham Getting Together, formerly known as Markham’s Got Talent

Creativity in a Post Recession Economy “ The schemes for creativity and innovation must now, in the light of global recession, be rooted in the animation of civic imagination, not merely in the notion that clever ideas will attract money. We must be devoted to an ethic of creativity that creates a larger ethic, one that generates civic care by the exercise of imagination.”

“ We are not concerned now with revitalizing downtown—we are concerned with the survival of city spirit by programs that address the designer and the plumber, the industrialist, the CEO and the courier. Creativity is the demonstration that shows every citizen to be an artist. When that dignity is found and enjoyed, a city will not fail to prosper as an economy, because it is a caring place.”

CƵůtƵraů ToƵrism “ The essence of cultural tourism is about encountering a destination’s history and heritage, its stories, its people, its landscapes, its townscape, its culture. It is about discovering what makes a destination distinctive, authentic, and memorable. It is about the experience of ‘place’.” – Steven Thorne, keynote speaker at the 2009 Creative City Conference on Cultural Tourism: A Place Based Approach
