| Markham |
Markham is the largest of nine communities in York Region with a
population of approximately 220,000, and a land area 211.53 square
kilometres.
We are a blend of four communities - Markham Village, Unionville,
Milliken and Thornhill http://www.thornhillhistoric.org 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).
