Markham, Ontario
Markham is the largest of nine communities in York Region with a population
of approximately 220 thousand, and a land area 211.53 square kilometres.
We are a blend of communities and are located just north of Toronto in
Ontario, Canada. We are a growing community with new housing developments
and businesses, quality schools, parks and recreational areas. As such we
are a mixture of small town, with some farms in the area, and large town
with corporate head offices such as IBM and American Express. We are also
well known as "Canada's HIGH-TECH Capital" for our technology companies.
In terms of community events we celebrate through village festivals and
special events (Unionville and Markham in June, Milliken in August, Jazz
Festival in August, Thornhill in September; Markham Fair in late September;
Santa Claus Parade and Festival of Lights in December).
