Pan Am Proud
Our Community

Torch Relay, Globalfest and Canadian medals highlight the summer

A
Frank Scarpitti
Mayor, City of Markham

big announcement started off


Markhams summer when the
Minister for Training, Colleges
and Universities, Reza Moridi provided the news of a University campus
coming to Markham. Situated in
Markham Centre, and adjacent to
our new Markham Pan Am Centre,
the new York University campus will
be home to 4000 students during the
first phase and up to 10,000 students
within 20 years. I had the pleasure of
sharing this news and other initiatives at my Annual Address to the
Markham Board of Trade which had a
record gathering and greeted the news
with great excitement!

It has been an exciting time for Markham with the Pan Am Torch
Relay on June 27, the beginning of the Games in Markham on July
7, and our outstanding multicultural street festival Globalfest. As
a Pan Am Gold level municipality Markham hosted the Pan Am
Flame for the entire day on June 27. Over 80 torchbearers proudly
carried the Flame across our community to thousands of cheering
onlookers and waited for Markhams final torchbearer, 3 time
Olympian, hockey star and Markham resident Gillian Apps, to
arrive at the Markham Civic Centre. It was an emotional and awe
inspiring moment that will not be forgotten.

We were equally inspired by Markhams own


Pan Am athletes Michelle Li who won gold
and a bronze medal in badminton, Andre
DeGrasse who won gold in 100m track* and
Sarah Wells who won silver in 400m hurdles.
Canada surpassed Guadalajara 2011 medal
records, and its Gold medal record of 64 set
in Winnipeg in 1999. The Games have been
a significant source of pride for Canadians
and for Markham as the host of five sporting
competitions.
Our Pan Am Centre and Globalfest street festival was a hub of
activity with over 600 artists entertaining residents through 95
shows representing 41 countries for nine days at Globalfest. It was
a free, multicultural extravaganza of award-winning talent every
night that had toes tapping, and people dancing in the streets.
Indeed the legacy of Games evolving from the Markham Pan Am
Centre, Globalfest and the Torch Relay has exceeded the most optimistic projections. Our community has enthusiastically embraced the
Pan Am spirit for over three years, and were extremely proud of the
reputation we have earned across the GTA as an outstanding Host City.
Lets stay inspired and engaged, and continue to celebrate our great
community and the legacy of the Pan Am Games.
VIVA PAN AM MARKHAM!

Building On Our Strategic
Foundation

Charting a New Course


Goals for the Future

In 2008, Markham Council championed


seven priorities as part of comprehensive
strategy Building Markhams Future
Together. In 2009, the strategy was implemented through an extensive online public
consultation program called Click with
Markham. We asked residents, local businesses, and other interested parties to share
their thoughts on Markhams future direction. Seven strategic priorities were identified
through this campaign. From 2009 to 2014,
a number of action plans were developed to
support each strategic priority.

With the success and foundation of Building


Markhams Future Together: 2009-2014,
Markham is now embarking on a new
strategy and is reaching out to residents,
Markham business owners and their
employees to find out their views on what is
important and a priority.
Our plan has four main goals to help guide
economic and community development:
Exceptional Services by Exceptional
People
Engaged, Diverse and Thriving City

A Record of Achievement

Safe and Sustainable Community

Since 2009, Markham has added dozens of


new roads and bridges; built new leisure, recreation and sports facilities; offered new and
expanded municipal services; and improved
the accessibility and energy efficiency of our
buildings. We achieved all this during one of
the most challenging economic periods in
history, with a zero per cent tax rate increase
in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and modest tax rate
increases in 2012 through 2015. Although
significant infrastructure and expanded
new services were put in place during this
period, Markhams seven-year tax rate
increase of 7.99 per cent is the lowest among
27 GTA municipalities.

Torch Relay
Lights The Way
in Markham

othing could dampen the spirit of thousands of residents


who came out on Saturday, June 27, to watch 88 torchbearers
carry the Pan Am Flame through Markham leading up to
the Pan Am Games.
Starting at 10 a.m. from Cornell Community Centre and Library,
where hundreds gathered to cheer on Robert Latcham, the first
torchbearer in Markham who led the relay for the day. PACHI, along
with the Mayor and Members of Council, travelled the entire route
stopping at several significant locations around the City to teach
the PACHI Wiggle to children, and help get the community excited
about the Games.
The day ended with a celebration and fun for all as PACHI and his
team whipped up some laughs at the Markham Civic Centre. Eager
spectators watched Gillian Apps bring in the torch for its final leg in
Markham, ending the day on a Gold note!

DID YOU KNOW?

DID YOU KNOW?

DID YOU KNOW?

The sport is believed to have originated in


19th century England as an after-dinner
parlor game. For many years referred to as
ping pong, the game changed dramatically
when rackets used a rubber sheet combined
with a sponge layer for greater speed.

The golf industry represents 14 billion dollars in economic activity and thats just in
Canada. In 2016, golf will be played at the
Olympics for the first time in 112 years.

Water polo is the oldest team sport in the


Olympic Games. At the 2008 Summer
Olympics in Beijing, it was the only time that
the Canadian mens team had ever qualified for the Olympics through the normal
process. Canada has placed in the top three
in the past five Pan Am Games and in 2011,
including this year right here in Markham
with a silver for the womens team, and a
bronze for the men!

Next to the United States, Canada has won 42


medals at previous Pan Am Games with 1995
being one of the biggest years claiming gold
in the Mixed and Womens Doubles as well as
Womens Singles.

The Pan Am Games


Community, Unity and Culture

he Pan Am and Parapan Am Games


are about sport, of course. But theyre
also about bringing the community to
life, unifying residents for a common purpose and celebrating the myriad of cultures
the Games bring together in competition,
celebration and the arts.
Original works of art that integrate with
our environment, are relevant to our neighbourhoods, and accessible to residents and
visitors, are a key component of Markhams
unique, vibrant and multicultural identity.
Public art serves to beautify public
spaces, increase civic pride, create public

conversation and promote inclusiveness.


And that is just what the Pan Am Public Art
project has done in a unique and creative way
to celebrate the Games.
Youll find spectacular Pan-Am-themed
traffic box wraps and works of street art
surrounding the Markham Pan Am Centre.
This art in the public realm was created
by eight talented Unionville High School
Students under the mentorship of Visual
Arts Department Head, Shane Clodd, and in
consultation with Laurence Roberts of Forge
Collective.
They have created Pan Am themed traffic
control box wrap designs and street
stencils, as well as two additional designs
for Markhams heritage districts. All the
students involved with this project are to be
commended for their excellence, outstanding
creativity and hard work. Their community
involvement and enthusiasm have added a
colourful, meaningful and lasting dimension
to the Pan Am legacy in Markham.

Rebuilding Markhams Tree Canopy


2015 Priorities

arkham continues to care for its


city-owned trees, through pruning
and removals, in response to
resident requests and as needed. At the same
time, the City continues implementation of
its Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Management
Plan to rebuild the tree canopy in our community in the aftermath of EAB devastation.

Stump Removal and Grinding


7,000 Stumps

This includes the stump, the root mound


around the stump and any large exposed
roots.
Residents are asked to remove any
landscape materials or plants they have
installed around the base of their boulevard trees if they wish to keep them;
the stumping process will damage surrounding landscaping.
About 2,600 of the stump removal locations will receive a new tree this fall.

Replanting Program
A Diverse Combination of
6,000 Trees

Removal Program
5,000 City Street and Park
Trees

Removal refers to the tree only and not


the stump the stump is removed by a
different contractor.
Tree removal contractors are required
to clean up all debris and logs; however,
the logs may be left standing temporarily
until larger equipment (e.g. a crane
truck) can remove them.
The contractors are responsible for any
damages to public and/or private property
that may result from the removal process.
|

Markham Life August 2015

Markham replanted 3,000 trees in the


spring and will replant another 3,000 in
the fall.
The focus is on replanting the hardest hit
residential areas first.
Not all trees on each residential street
will be replanted at the same time, as the
available trees are being spread across
the City.
While the contractors replanting the
trees are responsible for their care for the
first two years, residents are encouraged
to water their new trees by filling the bag
once each week.

Community Engagement
Initiative Over 2,000
residents reached to date
The City has been out in the community
since May offering free advice to residents from one of our certified arborists on planting and caring for their
trees and shrubs. We have also been

EAB Management Plan and how they
can have their dead and hazardous ash
trees removed.

Markham Has
Exciting Animal

Mews!
First of its Kind!
Opening Fall 2015

Council unanimously approved the


establishment of a Cat Adoption and
Education Centre (CAEC) in the Thornhill
Community Centre and Library. This innovative approach to animal adoptions and
education is the first of its kind: an adoption
centre municipally owned and operated
within a Community Centre setting. The
CAEC will focus on the promotion of cat
adoptions, which will help to reduce euthanasia rates. Canadas national cat euthanasia
rate is 50% of those that enter a shelter.

The centre will be a temporary home for a maximum


of 17 cats at any given time
and the cats will be spayed
or neutered, have up-todate vaccinations, be in
top health, and be ready
to find their forever
families. Opening of the
CAEC is anticipated for
fall 2015.

In addition, the centre will promote joint


initiatives with community programs, such
as reading therapy programs in conjunction with the library, education programs
on animal welfare, and volunteer programs
for residents and students, including those
enrolled in veterinary technician programs.

Individual & Sponsorship Donations Welcome!


If you wish to contribute to this exciting new endeavor, donation boxes are located at several

interactive, universally-accessible municipal
services to citizens through the Markham
Portal, said Robert Hughes, president of
the Canadian Association of Municipal
Administrators and Chief Administrative
Officer for Stratford, PE. This is just what
you would expect from a city known as
Canadas high tech capital.
Markhams web portal used a multi-phased
development approach, deploying over 60
interactive online services available to citizens 24 -7 to meet the expectations of a highly
educated workforce and diverse community.
Responsive design allows easy content

Markham
Flood Control
Program &
Stormwater Fee
An Update on the Citys
Long-term Strategy

he City continues to improve


sewers and drainage systems across
Markham especially in older neighbourhoods to reduce the risk of surface and
basement flooding. This work is part of the
Markham Flood Control Program, a 30-year
initiative that will also reduce roadway
flooding during severe storms.
Construction continues along several
Markham streets this year. While work can
involve temporary disruption to the community, the infrastructure investment will
benefit residents for many years to come.
14

Markham Life August 2015

Current work includes a new enlarged watercourse outlet and larger, deeper storm sewers
that can meet todays more stringent design
standards.
To help fund present and future infrastructure improvements, the annual $47
Stormwater Fee has been applied to all
residential properties beginning with this
years final tax bills.
This spring, the City undertook extensive
consultation with non-residential property
owners and business managers on the
various options for allocating their share

(40%) of the City-wide Markham Flood


Control Program costs. Staff reported back
to Council in June and will complete consultation over the summer. Final options will be
reported to Council in September so that the
City can begin charging the non-residential
portion of the Stormwater Fee in 2016.

from which our residents have emigrated. Over the past months, we have
raised the flags of Pakistan, Greece, Israel, Armenia and the Philippines.
Markham has also raised flags in support of Autism, Multiple Sclerosis and
the Walk for Values which raises awareness for five human values: Love,
Peace, Truth, Right-Conduct and Non-Violence.

Pakistan Flag Raising


Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, along with representatives from
municipal, provincial and federal government, was in Markham to celebrate
National Day for Pakistan with several hundred members of the Pakistani
community on March 25.

Sign Management

905-477-5530

To enhance the Citys award-winning urban streetscapes, the

Road Authorities - Maintenance


Maintenance is handled by a number of organizations. Roads
within Markham are owned by one of five road authorities:
City of Markham, Region of York, City of Toronto, Ministry of
Transportation or SLF Joint Venture (Hwy. 407 ETR). In general,
roads that extend beyond the Markham boundaries (e.g., Woodbine
Avenue, 16th Avenue, Highway 7) are not the responsibility of
the City of Markham; they fall under the jurisdiction of another
authority. For a listing of road authorities and who has responsibility for maintenance, visit our website or call 905-477-5530.

Waste Management

905-477-5530

Markhams current curbside diversion rate is 80 per cent one


of the highest municipal diversion rates in Ontario. The City
has an ambitious new waste diversion program for schools and
condominiums. Our diversion programs encourage reducing,
reusing, recycling, composting, and embracing and promoting
a zero waste policy. A leader in zero waste recycling programs,
Markham is one of a handful of municipalities to have received
two Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) Platinum Awards for
achieving top-recycler status.
With clear bags for garbage, bi-weekly waste collection, Zero Waste
special event containers; 450 parks recycling cages; 1,500 Super
Mailbox recycling containers; and 350 public space recycling containers, Markham is on its way to being a zero waste community.

Hours for Markham Household Hazardous


Waste Depot
To better serve Markham residents, the Region of York expanded
the hours of the Markham Household Hazardous Waste and
Electronics Recycling Depot. The depot, on Rodick Road at Miller
Avenue, is open Thursday to Monday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is
closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and all Statutory Holidays. For
more information, visit our website.

Waterworks

905-477-5530

Markham provides a safe and sufficient supply of water to all system


users in our community. Qualified staff will answer inquiries from
the public regarding water services and sanitary sewer issues. All
Waterworks operators are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of
Environment and Climate Change. Operators receive ongoing
training to ensure that the Citys water distribution and wastewater
(sanitary sewer) collection systems are operated according to the
current regulatory standards and requirements.

Markham By-law Information


Markham By-laws & Your Backyard
Here are a few things to keep in mind this summer:
Keeping Markham Beautiful: The City of Markham
takes great pride in keeping our community beautiful for all residents to enjoy. Lawn maintenance,
keeping yards clear of household waste, and maintaining the Citys boulevard are a few ways property
owners can help keep our city beautiful. Grass and
weeds should not exceed six inches in height at any
time and grass clippings should be removed from
the lawn or mulched. Residents are not permitted to
blow grass clippings, leaves, dirt, or any other debris
onto the municipal boulevard or highway. Properties
should be kept free of all forms of garbage and debris.
Garbage may be placed at the curb anytime after 7
p.m. the day before collection. Empty bins must be
removed from the curb no later than 7 p.m. the day
of collection. For more information on the Keeping
Markham Beautiful By-law, visit markham.ca.

2. Road Occupancy Bylaw: Extensive landscaping


may require a little more than just a rake and
shovel. It may include such items as interlock,
gravel, armour stone, or large amounts of topsoil,
etc. In order to ensure our streets are safe for all
residents, it is important to keep our roads and
highways free from obstruction at all times. We
caution all residents undertaking any landscaping
or home renovations to kindly place all required
materials on their property. Any materials stored
on the municipal boulevard or highway without
a Road Occupancy Permit will be removed by
the City at the owners expense. If the driveway
is needed for material storage, the City will grant
over night exemptions for vehicles to be parked
on the street. To request a parking exemption, call
905-477-7000 ext. 2050.
3.

Driveways: If you have plans to install or extend


your driveway, you will need to hire a driveway
contractor who has been licensed by the City of
Markham to do the work. Licensed contractors are
listed on our website.

4. Wildlife: As the temperatures begin to drop, our


urban wildlife begin to look for winter den sites
within our homes. To animal proof your home, be
sure your chimneys, roof vents, and any existing
openings are screened. Also, to prevent easy access
onto your roof, trim back trees and vines away from
the roof edge. For a complimentary wildlife audit
of your home, contact a City By-law Enforcement
Officer by calling 905-477-5530. To report an
incident regarding wildlife in distress, orphaned
or injured, please call Toronto Wildlife Centre at
416-631-0662 or visit torontowildlifecentre.com
5.

Animals: Markhams Animal Control By-law


requires that all dogs and cats residing within
Markham be licensed annually. Licensing your dog
or cat could play a critical role in identifying your
pet should it become lost. If you welcome a new pet
into your home partway through the calendar year,
you may be able to purchase a licence at a reduced
fee. You must apply for the licence within 30 days of
getting your pet. You may apply and purchase a new
licence at the Markham Civic Centre or at one of our
authorized locations. For a list of authorized locations,
visit markham.ca

6. Trees: Markhams Tree Preservation By-law supports our efforts to promote a greener community
and healthier environment. In most cases, before
removing a tree from your property, you must get a
permit. Call before you cut!
7.

Taking a Cab? Look for the Markham plate! Licensed


Taxicabs in the City of Markham may be identified
by this distinctive red and white licence plate. Vehicles
licensed as taxicabs by the City are inspected for safety
and model year limits, and drivers must carry commercial vehicle insurance. As well, taxi drivers must
be licensed by the City of Markham, which requires
criminal and driver record checks. Taxi drivers must
complete training and testing.

When in doubt, check it out! For more information, call


905-477-5530, email customerservice@markham.ca
or visit us online at markham.ca

Markham by-laws regulate driveway width and


prohibit the extension of a driveway onto the City
boulevard. To be sure your driveway will be in compliance, by-law staff can visit your property, review
your proposed project and explain the by-law
requirements. To schedule a visit, call 905-477-5530.

Seniors Information

Seniors Information
Seniors Advocating for Seniors
At Markhams Seniors Advisory Committee

n September 14, 2009, the City of Markhams


General Committee established a Seniors Advisory
Committee to actively engage and increase participation from seniors in Markham and to create opportunities for Markham seniors to voice recommendations to
Council which would enhance their quality of life. Today,
the mission of the Committee remains To provide recommendations to Council on seniors issues; solicit input from
the seniors community; and promote education and awareness of seniors needs and senior services offered within
the City of Markham. The Committee will also continue
to support the City of Markhams Diversity Strategy and
ensure that it has an integral part in the development of the
City of Markhams Older Adult Strategy going forward.
The Advisory Committee is comprised of a total of 13 members of the public, appointed by Council. The membership are
individuals 55 years of age or older and are selected for their
knowledge, expertise, community experience and ability to
attend meetings. Two City Councillors and one Regional
Councillor are appointed to the Committee. Today, our mandate continues as written in 2009 but with broader scope.

SAVE THE DATE!

As we all age within the community, there is a greater


awareness of the need to accommodate our existing seniors
and to understand and promote the future ideals of our
expanding baby boomer population. In the past two years,
the Committee has begun to actively engage with both
Council and the community with a view to better understanding seniors needs. Last September, we held a very successful Seniors Forum at Centennial Community Centre
where 40 different senior institutions presented their ideas,
solutions and hopes for us today and in the future. Ideas
and recommendations from this Forum were presented to
Council where they were warmly received and recorded
for inclusion in the Older Adult Strategy. Based on the
success of the Forum, the Committee has been encouraged to commit to a Seniors Health and Wellness Fair this
November. A large number of participants are anticipated
and we hope that many of you may join us in our venture.

very year since 2012, Markham residents


have been coming together to celebrate
the power of reading and community
with One Book One Markham. In 2015, we are
reading Cory Doctorows Little Brother.

learn

Seventeen-year-old Marcus, a.k.a. w1n5t0n


thinks he already knows how the system
works and how to work the system. Smart,
fast and wise to the ways of the networked
world, he easily outsmarts his high schools
surveillance systems.

But his whole world changes when he and


his friends find themselves caught in the
aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San
Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong
time, Marcus and his crew are caught by the
Department of Homeland Security and taken
to a secret prison where they are questioned
for days.

Aquafit Programs
Aquafit - Running

Aquafit - Shallow/Deep

Aquafit - Water Yoga

Aqua Running is a form of deep water running that closely mimics the actual running
movement. Using a flotation belt, your feet
dont actually touch the bottom of the pool
creating a zero impact and safe exercise
for injuries. Aqua Running also provides a
neuromuscular workout that, in addition to
aerobic benefits, helps keep the running specific muscles active. For ages 14 and up, those
attending should be comfortable in deep
water and a water temperature of 78 degrees.

Shallow/deep aquafit is a water exercise class


set to music and open to all individuals 16
years of age and older. Those under 16 years
of age who display behaviour appropriate to
the class may participate.

Learn basic moves to create the whole


new aquatic experience that enables you
to understand the water. Focuses on
techniques to improve posture, breathing,
flexibility, core stabilization, coordination
and muscular endurance using the soothing
properties of the water.

Serious Medical Conditions Those with seizure disorders or other

supervision.

Huggies, Gabbys.) These may be purchased at the pool. Disposable
and cloth diapers are not permitted.

and other events, please call the Customer Service Representative at

Screening for Swim Levels Are you unsure of which level is right for
your child? If your child has learned to swim without instruction or has
been out of lessons for a year or more, you can request a free screening

Aquatic Leadership
Lifesaving - Coaching Level 1

Lifesaving - Bronze Cross Re-exam

YRDSB Aquatic Leadership Program

Competitive lifesaving opens up a new area


for leadership within the Lifesaving Society:
Coaching. Most current leaders are instructors, lifeguards and trainers. Current programs and resources of the Lifesaving Society
provide many of the skills and competencies
needed to be a successful coach. Although the
principles of teaching and learning, stroke and
skill progressions are the same, the emphasis is
different in coaching. The role of the instructor
and trainer is to prepare participants for
examination and teaching specific skills to
standard levels. The role of a coach is to help
athletes become proficient in the performance
of skills and events during competition.
Prerequisites: Current Lifesaving Instructor &
Current Standard First Aid. Course text will be
added at time of checkout/registration.

This exam is for individuals who could not


attend their scheduled exam or for individuals who need to be re-examined. This is not
for a recertification or for individuals who
have not yet taken the Bronze Cross course.
Examiners will incorporate instructional
time before the evaluation of items.

In this intensive Aquatic Leadership course,


you will receive two highschool credits
through the YRDSB. 1 open credit and 1 college credit. You will also participate and have
the ability to receive your Bronze Medallion,
Bronze Cross, SFA, Lifesaving Instructors,
Swim Instructors and National Lifeguard
Qualifications, preparing you for a potential
aquatics job with the City of Markham.

Lifesaving - Bronze Medallion Re-exam


This exam is for individuals who could not
attend their scheduled exam or for individuals who need to be re-examined. This
is not for a recertification or for individuals
who have not yet taken the Bronze Medallion
course. Examiners will incorporate instructional time before the evaluation of items.
