t’s big, it’s bright, and it’s a welcome
addition to the Thornhill community
for sports groups across Markham.
On May 7, 2010 Markham put shovels
in the ground to transform a grassy field
at St. Robert Catholic High School into a
state-of-the-art artificial turf sports field
with a seasonal dome and year-round field
house. Less than a year later on March 25,
bag pipers and St. Robert’s fifty-piece senior
band welcomed Markham Council, the
Hon. Michael Chan, Minister of Tourism
and Culture, York Catholic District School
Board (YCDSB) officials, soccer organiza-
tions, students and project contractors into
the new 20,000 square foot dome facility
and 2,500 square foot field house. The dual
liner dome construction provides greater
energy efficiency and the turf is conditioned
using crumbled rubber from 28,000 recycled
tires. But that’s only one third of the story.
In April, the pressurized dome will come
down for warm-weather use and access to
the entire FIFA regulation-size, artificial turf
field - 64,560 square feet! The $3.2M facility
was made possible through an (RinC) infra-
structure funding partnership involving
equal contributions from the Government
of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the
Town of Markham, with land donated by
the YCDSB. At the opening ceremony Mayor
Frank Scarpitti described the new facility
as, “a great sports and recreation treasure
for Markham residents that will be enjoyed
by our children and grandchildren.” You
can see the new facility by visiting St. Robert
Catholic High School at 8101 Leslie Street.

F ollowing several years of consultation and work, Markham’s Greenprint Sustainability Plan
has been reviewed by Markham Council and is almost ready for implementation!
This living document, with more than 250 recommendations, is a long-term overall plan to
address environmental health, economic vitality, social well-being and cultural vibrancy. With
the Greenprint, Markham has set in motion the building blocks to be one of the most liveable
and sustainable communities in North America.
Over the next few months, staff will continue to work with Markham Council, the community
and many organizations to put in place the timelines and the monitoring and reporting system
for the Greenprint.
As decisions are made about the future, it is important that high quality of life continues to be
a priority and that Markham becomes a complete, connected community where all residents
can thrive.

Celebrating Black History Month in Markham

D
iversity gives Markham a leading
edge. We are able to enjoy and
experience numerous cultures
from around the world. At the
same time, Markham provides an environ-
ment that nurtures creativity and growth.
One of Markham’s many opportunities
to recognize community leadership is the
celebration of Black History Month.
This year Markham, in partnership with the
Markham African Caribbean Association,
honoured nine distinguished Canadian
citizens of African descent who have made
noteworthy contributions to our community.
These citizens mentor youth, have built
businesses, volunteer in the community, are
media, political, and community advocates,
and work to eliminate discrimination in
Markham and the broader community.
Those recognized were: The Hon. Rev. Don
Meredith, Senator, Gwyneth Chapman,
Errol Lee, Gary Thompson, Winston Stewart,
Garry Durrant, Detective Constable
Kolin Alexander, Xavier McLaughlin and
Christopher Skinner.

Water Conservation
F
resh water is part of our natural
environment and most Canadians
believe that it is also very impor-
tant to our economy, prosperity
and quality of life. However, as Canadians
we use an average of 353 litres of water per
person daily, which is more than most
other countries in the world. Here in
Markham, the average resident uses 273
litres of water each day. That’s a lot of water
– enough to fill 2 bathtubs.
Based upon measurements in Southern
Ontario, the largest water use in the home
comes from the shower, toilet, washing
machine and leaks.
Five Simple Steps You Can Do to Reduce
The Amount of Water You Use in your
Home:
1. Take shorter showers - 5 minutes
should do
2. Replace your old showerhead with
a new water-saving model
14 | Markham Life – Summer 2011
Our Tap Water
Markham tap water is safe, convenient, affordable,
environmentally friendly.
Did You Know?
• Over a billion people worldwide don’t have access to clean drinking water.
• Markham tap water is quality tested.
• When you choose Markham tap water, you prevent more plastic bottles from
entering landfills.
• It takes seven times more water to make a plastic bottle than it actually holds.
So next time you’re thirsty and want a drink of water, make the right choice and turn
on your tap. You won’t be disappointed!
3. Use your washing machine effi-
ciently – be sure to use full loads
OR set the water level to suit the
size of the load
4. Replace your old water guzzling
toilet with a new high-efficiency or
dual-flush water saving toilet
5. Repair dripping taps - they can
waste up to 75 litres of water a day
Much of the water we use in our daily
home activities is simply wasted. Taps
are left running while we brush our teeth.
Dishwashers and laundry machines are
run with partial loads. Everywhere we use
water there is room for improvement. In
fact, it’s possible to reduce your average
household water use by as much as 40
percent. So let’s all do our part to conserve
this precious resource.

 Town By-law Information
• Markham Bylaws & Your Backyard
Thinking of landscaping this season? Here are a few
things to keep in mind:
• Driveways. If you have plans to install or extend
your driveway, you will need to hire a Town of
Markham licensed driveway contractor to do
the work. Licensed contractors are listed on our
website at www.markham.ca.
• Markham by-laws regulate driveway width and
prohibit the extension of a driveway onto the
Town boulevard. To be sure your driveway will be
in compliance, By-law staff can visit your prop-
erty, review your proposed project and explain
the by-law requirements. To schedule a visit, call
905-477-5530.
• Boulevards. Town boulevards must always be
kept free of basketball nets, landscaping struc-
tures and material, and other obstructions.
• Grass. Markham residents take great pride
in their yards, and the Town takes pride in its
appealing streetscapes. Please do your part by
keeping your grass at a height of no more than 15
cm, and keeping your yard free of debris.
• Pools. Backyard swimming pools can be great
family fun but can also pose dangers when not
properly fenced or maintained. Markham by-
laws regulate the placement and height of fences,
and prohibit the accumulation of standing water,
to protect against West Nile virus.
• Trees. Markham’s Tree Preservation By-law sup-
ports our efforts to promote a greener community
and healthier environment. In most cases, before
removing a tree from your property, homeowners
must get a permit. Call before you cut!
CALL BEFORE YOU CUT!
Summer 2011
• Noise. When you or your landscape contractor
are mowing, trimming or doing other work
involving power tools and equipment, be aware
Our Community
that Markham’s Noise By-law restricts the
time for use of such equipment, to minimize
disturbance.
• Pesticides. Ontario law now regulates the sale
and cosmetic application of pesticides. Visit
Markham’s website for tips and resources on how
to keep your lawn and garden healthy, sustain-
able and pesticide free.
When in doubt, check it out! For more information, call
905-477-5530, email customerservice@markham.ca or
visit us online at www.markham.ca
Look for Markham’s distinctive plate
style to be sure you are accessing a service
licensed by the Town of Markham.
• Taxicab Driver Licences
In 2011 Markham implemented Taxicab Driver Training
and Testing, which established new standards of pro-
fessionalism for Town of Markham Taxicab Drivers.
Developed in conjunction with a private sector skills
enhancement academy, the training and testing program
will educate drivers on the Ontario customer service
and transportation standards established for persons
with disabilities and will heighten taxi driver safety and
eco-driving awareness. This training and testing will
also give new and renewing taxi drivers information and
tools to help them polish their professional image and
grow their businesses.
• Does my Business Need a Licence from
the Town of Markham?
The Town of Markham may require your business to
hold a Markham business licence. Businesses operating
through vehicles which require licences include taxicabs,
limousines, tow trucks, driving instructors, and mobile
food services. A number of property-based businesses,
such as restaurants, garages, and personal service shops
also require licensing. For a complete list of businesses
requiring licences and information on licence applica-
tion procedures, please visit the Markham website

 Things You Should Know
How do I coordinate registrants?
If you wish to attend the same program as a friend or relative, STAPLE together
all forms and payments if using the drop box. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee
registrant coordination through our automated registration systems.
What if my choice is full?
Should your program choices be full, applicants will be placed on a waitlist.
Registration fees that are paid for by cheque are held until the third scheduled
class. Should we not place a registrant by that time, your cheque will be HELD
in the Contact Centre for a six-month period and then destroyed. If you wish to
pick up your cheque, please contact the Contact Centre. Sorry, we do not mail
unused cheques.
How will I know if a spot becomes available after I
have been waitlisted?
1. The Automated Callback Phone system will contact you when a space becomes
available in a program you have been waitlisted for.
2. The Automated Callback Phone system will indicate that there is an opening for
the client, with program name and start date.
3. The Automated Callback Phone System will provide you with the option of
accepting or declining the space available.
• Acceptance of the space in the program will automatically transfer you
to FastTrack, the automated registration phone system.
• The system will provide you with a confi rmation number and prompt
you to make a credit card payment immediately. Failure to make a
payment prior to hanging up, will result in losing the reserved space
and your confi rmation number will become void.
4. A message will be left if you are not home to receive a call in person, the
message will indicate that a space has become available in a program you
are waitlisted for and you are to call the Contact Centre before 3:00 p.m. the
next business day to accept or decline the spot. If you do not call the Contact
Centre prior to 3:00 p.m. the next business day, your name will be removed
from the waitlist.
Can I transfer classes?
Transfers will be permitted if space is available. You may transfer at least two
business days before the start of a course using EZ Reg*, or Fast Track* or by
fi lling out a Change Request Form. Forms are available online at www.markham.

Returned cheques - Oops!
We know that mistakes sometimes happen, but it is necessary to administer a
charge for returned cheques.
Older Adults…
“Seniors” aged 65+ may register in any adult program for 30% off of the registration
fee. Supply costs, if applicable, must be paid in full.
I have a special need!
Every effort will be made to integrate individuals with special needs into the
programs offered by the department whenever it is safe and enjoyable to all
participants. Please refer to Special Need Services pages for details.
Financial assistance - Recreation for all!
It is the belief of the Town of Markham that municipal recreation opportunities should
be available to all residents. Markham residents experiencing financial difficulty may
request a fee assistance application by calling the Contact Centre Manager at 905-
477-7000, x6258. Applications for assistance must be supported by a social service
organization, and a monthly income statement is required. Some restrictions apply.
I’m not a Markham resident! Can I register?
Registrations belonging to non-residents (applicants who do not reside in Markham
or do not pay Markham property or business tax) will be charged a non-resident fee of
$10.00 per person per program and delayed until after resident registration has begun
(see dates listed in guide). We reserve the right to request proof of residency.
Why programs get cancelled
If there are not enough participants signed up, the program will be cancelled.
Please register early to avoid disappointment. If we cancel a program, we will do
our best to place you elsewhere. If we cannot transfer you to another class, you will
be issued a full refund.

responsibilities of instructors and their
assistants. The course will incorporate the

stone for candidates who hold a current
Bronze Cross Award and who are working
towards becoming a Swim Instructor.

policies, roles and responsibilities of the
volunteers. There is no cost for this program;
however, participants must register. To reg-
ister please use our Fast Track registration
or our EZ Reg internet registration systems.

be asked to complete a volunteer application
form and submit it to the aquatic coordinator
in the area in which they want to volunteer.

Lifesaving Instructor course
prepares the instructor to

and activities; a variety of stroke and skill
drills; effective correction techniques; and
evaluation criteria. Practice teaching is empha-
sized throughout. This course includes certifi-
