2 Mayor s Message Our Community Frank Scarpitti Mayor, City of Markham We began last year with the signing of an historic accord, an agreement of cultural collaboration with Ontario s Eabametoong First Nation. The partnership is the first of its kind between a Canadian urban municipality and a remote First Nations community and coincides with our country s sesquicentennial celebration. This year, we begin with the much anticipated opening of the Aaniin Community Centre & Library. The centre s name means, hello or welcome in Ojibway, in recognition of Canada s Indigenous Peoples who first inhabited the lands that now make up Markham. The name celebrates Canada 150 and further honours our partnership with the Eabametoong First Nation. The new centre belongs to the people of Markham; a place for family and friends to come together. The City and the community worked together over the course of a few years to develop the concept. The 121,000-square-foot, fully accessible LEED Gold facility includes a triple gymnasium, fitness centre, swimming pool, teaching kitchen and a state-of-theart library featuring the Makerspace and Business Hub. Aaniin Community Centre & Library is something we should all be proud of and it speaks to the strong sense of community we share as Markham residents. We are a community defined by our welcoming and generous spirit. We are a diverse and inclusive community whose forefathers were armed with an entrepreneurial spirit, much like the many New Canadians who now call Markham home. We are innovative, creative and eco-friendly. Markham is growing and we are building a liveable, thriving city. We are taking a fair and measured approach to meet the expanding needs of our community. We are keeping tax rates low while investing in Markham s infrastructure and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional service levels to our residents.

7 HOCKEY CELEBRATION WEEKEND Uniting Our Community One Goal at a Time MARCH 2, 3 & 4 A Special Message from the Mayor Hockey is our country s favourite national pastime. The game as we know it today, began in Canada in the late 19th century and the first indoor game was played by British settlers and immigrants. Last year, we commemorated Canada 150 by paying homage to Markham s heritage while celebrating our diversity and there is no doubt Canada s game is a part of our national identity. So showcasing our community s hockey pride is authentically Canadian; a part of our Markham s identity as well. Rogers Hometown Hockey is the ultimate NHL Fan experience and our chance to promote Markham as a hockey destination, because it is. Last year, we welcomed Markham Thunder to our city, a powerhouse women s hockey team who serve as role models to young athletes. In 2015, the tradition of Jr. A. Hockey was kept current with the arrival of the Markham Royals. Markham s Minor Hockey Leagues engage children and youth, not only by keeping them active but by teaching them the importance of sportsmanship and teamwork. I think of some of those young athletes, children of newcomer families, and I can only imagine how awestruck they must have been when their sticks first hit the ice. So come out and celebrate Canada s game when Markham s Hockey Celebration Weekend runs March 2, 3 & 4, featuring the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour. Rogers is planning a slew of family-fun activities including live entertainment. Wear your pride on Hockey Jersey Day, March 2nd. Catch the Hockey Hall of Fame and interactive hockey games at the Civic Centre on March 3 & 4. On Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs will take on the Washington Capitals in an outdoor game, come join us and we will be watching in our Council Chambers. There will be a Family & Friend Skate at the Markham Civic Centre Outdoor Ice Rink all weekend. Mayor Frank Scarpitti drops a puck (above). Kids show off Rogers Hometown Hockey pucks (top). We welcome Sportsnet hosts Ron Maclean and Tara Slone and the entire Rogers Hometown Hockey team. I know they will receive a genuinely warm Markham Welcome. Our community is enthusiastic, inclusive and proud. Let s share Markham s story, our hockey story a true Canadian story! Visit markham.ca/hometownhockey for more information. Markham Life January

10 Our Community Markham Uses Technology to Manage Canadian Winters Markham residents surely appreciate the superb job performed by the City s snow removal services in the wake of each winter storm, but most probably don t think much about the technology behind each massive effort. It all starts with careful planning, and for that, staff relies on information gleaned from the City s two road weather information stations, supplemented by the surrounding Ministry of Transportation weather stations. Pooling and analyzing this data allows staff to effectively plan and dispatch winter maintenance crews. Once on the road, equipment operators use road temperature gauges in their trucks to help them decide how much salt to put down on the road. Road surface temperatures can vary considerably from the forecasted air temperatures you hear on the news, and operators use that specialized information to adjust the amount of salt needed to be effective without wasting resources or polluting the environment. The City can muster almost 200 pieces of equipment, including 29 salting and plowing units for main roads, 44 plows/sanders for local roads, another 44 large loaders for 10 Markham Life January 2018 clearing rear lanes, wide corners and cul de sacs, and 51 sidewalk plows. It also has 13 specialized plows that it uses to clear windrows those piles of snow that plows leave across the end of driveways for qualified seniors and residents with disabilities. In all, the City plows and salts 1,025 kilometres of roads, 1,040 kilometres of sidewalks, 120 kilometres of rear lanes and 20 kilometres of multi-use pathways, along with parking lots, fire stations and other City-owned facilities. Streets and sidewalks are usually cleared within 12 to 16 hours, sidewalks within 17 hours and windrows removed within eight hours of plowing, meeting or exceeding provincial standards. The order in which the work is done is also carefully planned. Once there s 7.5 centimetres (about three inches) of snow on roadways, and five centimetres (two inches) on sidewalks, the equipment hits the roads. Primary and arterial roads are cleared first, to ensure emergency and public transit vehicles can function and to allow access to hospitals, schools, workplaces, libraries and community centres. Then it s on to local roads, rear lanes, parking lots and sidewalks. Anyone wishing to follow the progress of snow-clearing efforts after a winter storm can download Markham s Winter Maintenance App from markham.ca. It s also available as a mobile app that can be downloaded from the App Store, and Google Play. And while road crews are clearing snow from streets and sidewalks, there are a few simple steps residents can take to help out. Snow removal equipment requires a lot of space to operate, so be sure to stay well clear. 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. Finally, clear snow or ice from catch basins, to lessen the risk of flooding. From November 15 to April 15, parking is allowed only on the oddnumbered 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.

11 Our Community Be Prepared It s never too late for individuals to prepare themselves, their homes and their families for emergencies. 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, find out about the risks in your community and how to prepare for different situations. Next, make a plan for your family and rehearse what you will do in the event of an emergency. Include how you would communicate with family members. Have emergency kits for your home, car and pets. Basic items for any emergency kit are: A battery powered radio Flashlight with fresh batteries Supply of water Non-perishable food First aid kit Finally, consider creating an evacuation/ grab-and-go kit for each member of your family, in case you have to leave your home quickly. In addition to the above items, include extra medicine or other special needs items. For more information and resources to use to get prepared, check out Stay informed 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 on the facing page, or Calling our Contact Centre for live updates at Love Your Hydrant Fire hydrants are one of those civic amenities that everyone takes for granted until there s an emergency. Then, it can be a matter of life and death for the fire department to have easy access to that humble little plug. As a Markham resident, one of the most important things you can do to improve community safety is to ensure that, if you have a fire hydrant on your property, it s always readily accessible. Keep landscaping features such as trees, shrubs, tall grasses and other objects at least 1.2 metres from the fire hydrant. Make sure snow and ice isn t piled around a hydrant, obstructing access. Report damage, tampering or unauthorized use right away, by calling Remember, firefighters need to be able to see the hydrants on your street. Seconds count the home you save could be your own!

13 Our Community Markham s Cat Adoption and Education Centre (CAEC) just celebrated its second anniversary, and by any standard, it has been a great success. The centre has placed 432 cats in forever homes, exceeding its goal of 200 adoptions per year in both years of operation. A volunteer staff of 20 has logged over 2,500 hours of volunteer service. More than 20,000 visitors have come to the centre since its opening. Euthanasia rates have dropped from 60 per cent prior to the centre s opening to just 15 per cent. The CAEC, located in the Thornhill Community Centre & Library at 7755 Bayview Avenue, was established to promote responsible pet ownership and increase awareness of pet adoption. It operates as a partnership between the City of Markham and the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) and is the first storefront cat adoption centre funded by a municipality. Its location makes it more convenient for Markham residents who otherwise would face a long trek to the OSPCA shelter in Newmarket. There are usually about 17 cats available at any one time. All are spayed or neutered, with up-to-date vaccinations and in excellent health. The cost of adoption is just $175 plus licence fees. The centre is much more than just an adoption centre for cats. It also offers educational and outreach programs on responsible pet ownership and has hosted community events including Emergency Awareness Preparedness, Be Kind to Animals Week, Open Houses, a Cupcake Day and Pet Photos with Santa. One of its most successful initiatives is a reading therapy program for children. The goal is that reading to a furry friend may encourage children who are having difficulty with this skill. Children may read to a group of cats or, if they prefer, cuddle up with one special friend. The program runs after school on Tuesdays and Fridays and was full for all of The centre also partners every summer with a Junior Animals and Nature Camp, which is so popular it has a waiting list. Join us in 2018! Go to Markham.ca/summercamps. The CAEC is open from noon to 6 p.m. from Monday to Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, check out markham.ca. The centre is not an animal shelter, and anyone wishing to surrender a pet should still take it to the OSPCA s Newmarket shelter. Scout: always think of March 26, 2016, as my second birthday. That s I ll the day I chose Stephen and moved into his home forever. It almost didn t happen. Stephen was actually allergic to cats, but once he qualified for a study at the McMaster T-Cell Epitope Centre and received a serum, his allergies went away. He was actually volunteering at the Markham Cat Adoption and Education Centre, where I was visiting, when we met. But I knew he was the one, and the minute he stepped into my cage, I jumped on his shoulder and fell asleep. What could he do but adopt me? They are very good to me, but I m useful too. They no longer need an alarm clock, and they seem to be amused when I play with my cat toys and chase balls down the hall. I even have my own Twitter Check it out! Oliver: very honoured to have been the 200th cat adopted through the I m Markham Cat Adoption and Education Centre, but I can t say I m surprised. I am, after all, just about perfect, and I m fitting in well with my new family, although the dog seems a bit stand-offish. I m sure he ll come around. The humans are easier to control. A few cuddles, a couple of kisses and constant purring, and they ll do whatever I want. They even put me on their Christmas card this year, although they did seem a bit annoyed when I tried to climb their tree. Why bring a tree inside if you don t climb it? All in all, I m very happy with my new furever home, and very grateful to the CAEC for helping me find Holly and her family (even the dog). I hope they find homes for lots more cats in the years to come. forever Markham Life January
