2 Mayor s Message Our Community Frank Scarpitti Mayor, City of Markham Markham Expo 150 This time of year we are reminded of all that we are thankful for, particularly this year as Canada and Ontario celebrate 150 years. Our city continued its year-long celebrations with its own Markham Expo 150. This world-class event was a truly Canadian experience, revering our history, celebrating our diversity while setting the stage for a bright future. Our history was carved out by trailblazers like William Berczy, one of Markham s founding fathers. His statue, a masterful work of art stands in Berczy Square. We were honoured to share the official unveiling with representatives from our sister cities - Nördlingen, Germany, Berczy s birthplace and Cary, North Carolina, fitting given Berczy would journey through the United States before making his way to Canada. Berczy square is a place to reflect on where we have been and where we are going next. I invite you to enjoy all the moments captured from Markham Expo 150 in this issue of Markham Life. Of course, no celebration is complete without a little imagination, some magic and a lot of laughter. The Annual Markham-Milliken Children s Festival has grown into Ontario s largest annual children s festival. Tasty Canadian flavours were had at the Markham Museum at the 33rd annual Applefest. These events and celebrations would not be possible without the generous support of our business community and without the help of countless volunteers who embody our great values in the City of Markham. You make Markham proud! Remembrance Day As we celebrate our country s 150th birthday, we show a great deal of gratitude to the men and women who have served our community and our country. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. It is our responsibility to carry on their legacy and uphold the values they have so valiantly fought for. I invite to be a part of the the Annual Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Flato Markham Theatre. This year s ceremony will be held on Friday, November 10 beginning at 10:30 am. The year is not over yet, there is still time for you to make a difference in our community and to honour those who given us the privilege to live in this great country. Happy Canada 150 Markham!

Fire s Past Shines Bright Everything old is new again, and that s certainly true of the two vintage Markham fire trucks that the City hopes to bring back to life. The City of Markham s Fire Department Heritage Restoration Committee is raising funds to refurbish both trucks.

7 Lord Mayor Hermann Faul and Nördlingen delegation enjoy bench donated by Aksel Rinck of Germany William Berczy Founder of Markham Celebrated with new Berczy Square In 1792, William Berczy set out from Hamburg with his young wife Charlotte, their infant child, and some two hundred immigrants recruited from Northern Germany and Denmark. Here in North America, the migrants became road builders too, clearing the land for Yonge Street between Toronto and Markham, and opened John Street to get to German Mills. Berczy s spirit, stamina, sense of adventure represent the spirit of Markham itself. He and his settlers have become our inspiration. With voices telling them to turn back, to give in, to give up, these settlers persevered. After many dark nights, they saw a bright day. They tried hard, did their best, and eventually succeeded. Berczy s settlers in German Mills became well known for the high quality of their flour. Berczy himself was a gentleman, a gifted artist, sociallyconnected, and a diplomat. He was well-traveled, and proficient in several languages: German, Italian, French and English. He is also recognized as one of Canada s finest artists. Many of his surviving works are held by galleries, universities and other institutions across Canada, including three hanging in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Two of his best known paintings, Joseph Brandt and the Woolsey Family portrait, are reproduced in bronze here in our Berczy Square, located at Kennedy Road and 16th Avenue. Markham commissioned this statue in 2014 to commemorate the 270 th Anniversary of William Berczy s birth and the 220 th anniversary of the founding of Markham The statue of William Berczy was created by Marlen e Hilton Moore.

11 Our Community Come Celebrate The Season with Us! Festival of Lights Once again this year, Main Street Markham will sparkle and shine as the Markham Festival of Lights kicks off the festive season. This year, the Festival will take place on Friday, November 24, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Festival of Lights has been held annually for more than 30 years, in recent years on the last Friday in November, the evening before the annual Santa Claus Parade. Up to 15,000 people attend the Festival each year. The whole event is free to the public and, since it s on the street (Main Street is closed from Highway 7 north to Bullock Drive), it is accessible to everyone. Highlights include entertainment on three stages, street performers and a tree lighting ceremony with the Mayor and Santa Claus, all followed by fabulous fireworks. Organizers expect to follow up on the success of last year s event, which featured local bands including Stacey Renee and Caardia, and plans are underway to bring in jugglers, magicians, a hula-hoop girl and other street performers to keep everyone entertained. And of course, Santa will be there in the Santa Hut following the opening ceremonies to greet the kids, hear their special wishes and pose for any pictures the parents may wish to take. Many retailers and businesses on the street will participate in the window-decorating contest and stores will be open with holiday specials to get everyone started on their Christmas shopping. Anyone interested in participating should contact the Markham Village Business Improvement Area at , or contact judimcievents@gmail.com ( ). Markham Santa Claus Parade The Jolly Old Elf will be back on Main Street the following day, Saturday, November 25 at 11 a.m. for the 45th Annual Markham Santa Claus Parade, presented by the Markham Rotary Clubs. While details are still in the works, organizers expect close to 100 floats, marching bands and representatives from the city s business and cultural communities to participate again this year. Awards will be presented for the best commercial and noncommercial floats, the best marching group, the best marching band, the best school and the best interpretation of the parade s theme, Canada 150. The parade starts at Hwy 7 East and Main Street Markham (Hwy 48). It travels north along Main Street Markham to Markham Museum, taking about 60 minutes to pass any given point along the route. It may be viewed from the sidewalks on either side of Main Street Markham from Hwy 7 East to 16th Ave. There will be road closures and traffic restrictions in the area starting at 8 a.m. with Main Street closed north of Highway 7 East for the duration of the parade. Free parking is available in the area; however, organizers encourage everyone to consider taking transit. For more information, check the official parade website, markhamsantaclausparade.com, or contact Jim.Sandiford@krestongta.com. Markham Life October

12 Markham Makes It Happen! On July 24, Mayor Frank Scarpitti welcomed our newest members of the Fire and Emergency Services team: six firefighters, two fire prevention officers, and one alarm room operator. Congratulations and thank you for continuing to keep Markham safe! August 12 - Rouge Valley Trail. Markham is home to Canada s first Urban National Park, Rouge National Park. This August, we celebrated the opening of the latest phase of the Rouge Valley Trail, completing phases one through three, of four. Once complete, this trail will cover 15 kilometres from 16th Avenue and Kennedy Road to Bob Hunter Memorial Park, travelling through the Rouge River Valleys and the Milne Dam Conservation Park. The opening of the Rouge Valley Trail will bring many natural benefits to Markham residents, making their lives easier, healthier and more enjoyable. August 22 - Markham Children s Unity Celebration We were all saddened by the news that three Markham schools had been vandalized by racist slurs. To combat racism and to celebrate our pride in Markham s diversity, Markham held a Children s Unity Celebration at William Armstrong Public School Park, choosing instead to focus on inclusion by bringing the community together to share a message of hope, peace and unity. The 2017 Mayor s Senior s Hall of Fame Awards were celebrated on October 2, where this year s winner was John Buie; Meritorious Awards: Ross Bowser and Rob Hyland; Certificates of Appreciation: Lorna Rogers, Vijay Ghai and Helen Walter. Also on October 2, community members along with the Mayor and Members of Council came together to object to the use of stereotyping in online media and video games. As Canada s most diverse city, Markham celebrates the strengths of our many residents, and encourages all companies and communities, both online and elsewhere to stand up against negative stereotyping and characterizations. 12 Markham Life October 2017

15 Our Community A Tale of Two Trucks Two iconic Markham fire trucks, symbolic of Markham s vibrant history and culture, are getting a new lease on life. The City of Markham Fire Heritage Restoration Committee is refurbishing the vintage trucks as part of Markham s Canada 150 Celebration. Fire Chief Dave Decker believes it s important to recognize and remember the heritage of the Markham Fire and Emergency Services. The fire service is a critical organization within any community, he says, and our service has grown from several small towns with volunteer fire departments into a thriving city with a full-time fire service staffed by career firefighters operating from nine stations. The Two Heritage Trucks are: A 1932 Rugby, representing the oldest fire department in what was to become the City of Markham. The former town purchased it as a flatbed truck and the fire components the pump, water tank, hose bed and other equipment were fabricated in-house. The truck operated from the Main Street Markham Station. A 1936 Chevrolet, believed to have been purchased from Ontario s Mount Forest Fire Department and in service at the Old Fire Station on Main Street Unionville. The Restoration Committee hopes to begin restoration of the Rugby truck by the end of the year and is developing plans to generate the estimated $300,000 cost through public fundraising. Restoration of the Rugby is estimated to take from 10 to 18 months, and once that s complete, work will start on the Chevrolet. Once the Rugby is restored, it will be housed at a fire station. However, the Committee is also working on a proposal to add a museum component to an existing fire station, allowing for public access and presentations. Contact Deputy Chief Chris Nearing for more information, or to make a donation. Did You Know? The Markham Fire and Emergency Services Suppression Division what most people think of when they hear fire department includes 240 men and women who staff the fire stations 24/7. They operate 11 fire apparatus two aerial trucks and nine pumpers and other spare and auxiliary vehicles. They respond to everything from a fully involved structure fire, a motor vehicle collision to a medical emergency, and offer a fire and life safety program in all elementary schools in Markham. As part of the Canada 150 celebrations, two current fire trucks have undergone a custom Canada 150-themed wrapping. Markham Life October

16 Our Community Winter is Coming. We re Ready. We hope it won t be too soon, but we all know winter is on its way, and Markham s winter maintenance program is busy preparing for what s to come. It s a large undertaking to plow and salt the City s 1,025 kilometres of roads, 1,040 kilometres of sidewalks, 120 kilometres of rear lanes and 20 kilometres of multiuse pathways, along with parking lots, fire stations and other City-owned facilities. Streets and sidewalks are usually cleared within 12 to 16 hours, meeting or exceeding provincial standards! Once winter weather is forecasted, crews start preparing for winter maintenance. Markham s snow removal service sets its priorities based on public safety needs. Primary and arterial roads are cleared first, to ensure emergency and public transit vehicles can function and for access to hospitals, schools, workplaces, libraries and community centres. Then it s on to local roads, rear lanes, parking lots and sidewalks. Plowing will begin on local roads once there is 7.5 centimetres (about three inches) of snow. Winter maintenance on sidewalks begins once there is 5 centimetres (two inches) of snow. To accomplish all this, the City deploys 28 plows and sanders, 38 sidewalk plows, and more than 100 City and contract workers. The maintenance fleet has grown over the years, with new equipment added as the City s transportation network grows. 16 Markham Life October 2017 Windrow Removal Program If you are a senior (60 and older) or a person with a disability, you may qualify for Markham s Windrow Removal Assistance Program. Windrows are those piles of snow that plows leave across the end of driveways. The program doesn t remove the entire windrow, but does clear away enough to make it easier for you to get your car into or out of your property. City crews clear more than 3,200 windrows after every storm. Windrows are usually cleared within eight hours of the street being plowed. Registration is now open for this coming winter. The City has recently improved our application process, so if you were registered last year and are 60 years of age or older, you will be automatically renewed. If you are under 60 years of age and qualify for medical reasons, you must provide supporting medical documentation annually. Qualified applicants must always notify the City if their circumstances changes in any cases. Find out what the eligibility and documentation requirements are, and the Terms and Conditions for the program on the Driveway Windrow Removal Assistance Form in this issue of Markham Life. Then, if you believe you meet all the criteria, the next step is to obtain, complete, sign and submit the application form. There is one in this issue of Markham Life, or you can: Download a copy from our website, markham.ca Pick up one in person from the Customer Contact Centre, located inside the Unionville doors at the Markham Civic Centre, or Have one mailed to you by calling Finally, mail in or drop off your completed, signed and dated application, along with the required documents, to: City of Markham Customer Contact Centre 101 Town Centre Boulevard Markham, ON L3R 9W3 Attention: SNOW Once your application is received, we will review it and, if it is approved, you will be notified. You can also follow up with the Customer Contact Centre at the telephone number provided above.

17 Our Community From November 15 to April 15, parking is allowed only on the odd-numbered side of the street. This is in addition to the year-round restriction that prohibits on-street parking between 2:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. What You Can Do While road crews are working hard to clear snow from streets and sidewalks, there are steps you can take to help out. If there s a fire hydrant on your property, see that snow is cleared away so that it s readily accessible in the event of an emergency. The time it could take for firefighters to dig it out could make a big difference. Help clear snow or ice from catch basins, to lessen the risk of flooding. Finally, pile snow to the right of your property as you face the street, so the snow plow won t simply push it back into your driveway. It s illegal to push snow onto the road, where it could cause safety issues for motorists and pedestrians. Stay Informed with our App! If you d like to follow the progress of snow-clearing efforts during and after a winter storm, you can download Markham s Winter Maintenance App from markham.ca under winter road maintenance. The app shows the progress of road and sidewalks plows as they work to keep Markham moving by clearing first primary roads, and then move to secondary roads, local roads, and sidewalks. This feature is also available on our mobile app, which may be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play and BlackBerry World. You can also stay up-to-date during an emergency or severe weather conditions by: Listening to Markham s local radio station, The Region, Following us on Facebook and Twitter, Using the mobile apps mentioned above, or Calling our Contact Centre for live updates at Be Prepared As the City prepares for winter, it s also important that individuals prepare themselves, their homes and their families. Here are a few simple steps everyone can take to help ensure their own safety in the event of an exceptional event such as the 2013 ice storm. First, make yourself aware of any special hazards in your community. Next, make a plan for your family, and rehearse what you will do in the event of an emergency. Finally, have a 72-hour emergency kit that includes such things as a battery powered radio, flashlights with fresh batteries, and a supply of water and food that doesn t require cooking. For more information about emergency preparedness and assembling an emergency kit, check out our Markham web site. Markham Life October

19 Help Keep Markham Beautiful a few tips for the coming months... Our Community November * Keep your stormwater sewers clear and free of leaves! * During the winter months, to ensure the City can clear your streets of snow, street parking is not permitted. Between November 15 and April 15, parking on City streets is only allowed on the odd numbered side of street, unless posted signs indicate otherwise. Existing parking permits and overnight exemptions held by residents are not valid during snow clearing operations. December * Animal proof your home!

22 Seniors Information Winter 2017/18 Senior NextDoor Members of the Markham Seniors Advisory Committee not only contribute through their work on the committee, but also by being involved in many other aspects of their community. Mithan Kansal is one such member. Dreams can come true, but as Seniors Advisory Committee member Mithan Kansal found out recently, it can take a lot of hard work and perseverance. Mithan wanted to celebrate Canada150 by organizing a 150 km walk, but when he approached various local organizations for support, they turned his down flat. Many people told me not to take the risk, just in case something happens to someone, he said. But as Swami Vivekananda (a major figure in the revival of Hinduism in the late part of 19th century) taught, I made this dream part of my life and part of everything I did every day until the minute we started walking. His dream was to organize a mall walk, a popular activity for seniors and others interested in fitness, at Markville Mall before it opened for business. Once again, he met with a string of refusals, from, among others, the mall s administration, from the Walmart through which he hoped to access the mall, and from McDonald s, which he wanted to use as a rallying point before the walk. But I did not give up and I kept trying, he recounts. Finally, the mall agreed to allow me to organize the walk. Then after many trips to the McDonald s to see the owner and manager, I got permission to start there. Not only that, but the manager provided free coffee and gave me a whole section where all the walkers could meet. And then Walmart agreed to open its doors five minutes early so the walkers could access the mall through the store, and even provided gifts for all the walkers! Now, it seemed, everyone wanted to help. One of the walkers bought muffins for everyone and another paid for bottles of water. There were even offers from sponsors who wanted to pay for the walkers t-shirts. But it was my dream, so I paid for them, Mithan says. The event itself was a great success, Mithan reports. We had 32 walkers who did an average of more than five loops Success comes to those who do not give up. I did it; so can you of the mall, far more than the 150 km goal we had set. To quote Swami Vivekananda with just a bit of a twist: I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, and friends that turned out and joined me for the walk. They have become part of me and are family, and turned my dream into a reality. He sums up what he learned from organizing the Canada150 mall walk in one short sentence: Success comes to those who do not give up. I did it; so can you. Mithan is typical of the interested, involved seniors who make up the Seniors Advisory Committee of Markham. The Committee was organized in 2009 by the former Town of Markham to provide its Council with information about the needs of seniors in the community, and to inform Markham seniors about programs and activities of interest to them. It continues as an advisory body to the City Council, meeting at the Civic Centre on the second Tuesday of each month. Its 13 members are appointed by Council. The Committee has previously organized two Seniors Health and Wellness Fairs, resurrected a successful Seniors Art Showcase and Sale in the Civic Centre s Grand Hall, and sponsored the Seniors Extravaganza in 2016 at the Flato Markham Theatre. This October they will again sponsor and contribute their time to the success of the show.
