tinued its year-long celebrations
with its own Markham Expo
150. This world-class event was
Frank Scarpitti
a truly Canadian experience,
Mayor, City of Markham revering our history, celebrating
our diversity while setting the
stage for a bright future. Our
history was carved out by trailblazers like William Berczy,
one of Markham’s founding fathers. His statue, a masterful
work of art stands in Berczy Square. We were honoured to
share the official unveiling with representatives from our
sister cities - Nördlingen, Germany, Berczy’s birthplace and
Cary, North Carolina, fitting given Berczy would journey
through the United States before making his way to Canada.
Berczy square is a place to reflect on where we have been and
where we are going next.
I invite you to enjoy all the moments captured from
Markham Expo 150 in this issue of Markham Life.
Of course, no celebration is complete without a little
imagination, some magic and a lot of laughter. The Annual
Markham-Milliken Children’s Festival has grown into
These events and celebrations would not be possible
without the generous support of our business community
and without the help of countless volunteers who embody
our great values in the City of Markham. You make
Markham proud!
Remembrance Day
As we celebrate our country’s 150th birthday, we show a
great deal of gratitude to the men and women who have
served our community and our country. Their courage and
sacrifice will never be forgotten. It is our responsibility to
carry on their legacy and uphold the values they have so
valiantly fought for.
I invite to be a part of the the Annual Remembrance Day
Ceremony at the Flato Markham Theatre. This year’s cer-
emony will be held on Friday, November 10 beginning at
10:30 am.
The year is not over yet, there is still time for you to make
a difference in our community and to honour those who
given us the privilege to live in this great country. Happy
Canada 150 Markham!

The
Celebration
Continues for
Markham 150
& Canada 150
Markham Expo 150
— A Truly Canadian
Celebration
Markham Expo 150 was a three-day
extravaganza from September 8 to 10; an
all-encompassing birthday celebration on a
scale never before seen in Markham. People
were treated to free, live entertainment by
famous Canadian and Ontario performing
artists, and countless fun activities, exhibits,
sports, cultural showcases and foods to suit
every taste.
Starting on Friday with Music Under
the Stars at the Unionville Millennium
Bandstand, residents enjoyed spectacular
music from the Markham Concert Band,
coloratura soprano Andrea Nunez, and the
Motown band Blu Soul. On Saturday, we
recognized one of Markham’s founders,
William Berczy with a statue dedication
ceremony. That evening, A Night of Fun
featured stand-up comic and actor Ali
Hassan, and award-winning “vocal chame-
leon” André-Philippe Gagnon, along with
Markham Star Search finalists Michelle
White and Jonathan Michael, and Canadian
Chinese pop singer Eric Fok.
The third and final day of Markham Expo
150 was so full of exciting activities and
expositions that we had trouble fitting them
all in to this issue! Check out all the fun on
the first four pages of this magazine, and
find out what you missed. The weekend
was capped off by a special free, four-hour
concert starring Juno-winning Canadian
icons Barenaked Ladies, chart-topping
Juno-nominated Tyler Shaw, and country-
folk singer Jessica Mitchell – brought to us
by the ONtour Concert Series, part of the
Ontario150 celebrations.

Fire’s Past Shines Bright
Everything old is new again, and that’s cer-
tainly true of the two vintage Markham fire
trucks that the City hopes to bring back to
life. The City of Markham’s Fire Department
Heritage Restoration Committee is raising
funds to refurbish both trucks. The 1932
Rugby and the 1936 Chevrolet join two cur-
rent fire trucks that have been given special
Canada 150 wrappings as part of Markham’s
Canada 150 Celebration. See the whole story
on page 15.
Winter is Coming!
And Markham is getting ready for the mas-
sive effort it takes to keep the city moving in
the face of snowstorms and severe weather
by tuning up its plows and laying in supplies
of salt. To find out more about the snow
removal program, including the popular
Windrow Removal Assistance Program for
seniors and people with disabilities, and
to learn what you can do to help keep your
family safe, turn to pages 16-17.
Festive Treats
Markham kicks off the festive season with
the annual Festival of Lights on November
24, followed the next day by the Markham
Santa Claus Parade, presented by the Rotary
Clubs, which features almost 100 floats,
marching bands and other participants. Both
events take place on Main Street Markham.

embers of the Markham Seniors Advisory
Committee not only contribute through their
work on the committee, but also by being
involved in many other aspects of their community.
Mithan Kansal is one such member.
Dreams can come true, but as Seniors Advisory
Committee member Mithan Kansal found out recently,
it can take a lot of hard work and perseverance.
Mithan wanted to celebrate Canada150 by organizing
a 150 km walk, but when he approached various local
organizations for support, they turned his down flat.
“Many people told me not to take the risk, just in case
something happens to someone,” he said. “But as Swami
Vivekananda (a major figure in the revival of Hinduism
in the late part of 19th century) taught, I made this dream
part of my life and part of everything I did every day until
the minute we started walking.”
His dream was to organize a mall walk, a popular activity
for seniors and others interested in fitness, at Markville
Mall before it opened for business. Once again, he met
with a string of refusals, from, among others, the mall’s
administration, from the Walmart through which he
hoped to access the mall, and from McDonald’s, which
he wanted to use as a rallying point before the walk.
“But I did not give up and I kept trying,” he recounts.
“Finally, the mall agreed to allow me to organize the
walk. Then after many trips to the McDonald’s to see the
owner and manager, I got permission to start there. Not
only that, but the manager provided free coffee and gave
me a whole section where all the walkers could meet.
And then Walmart agreed to open its doors five minutes
early so the walkers could access the mall through the
store, and even provided gifts for all the walkers!”
Now, it seemed, everyone wanted to help. One of the
walkers bought muffins for everyone and another paid
for bottles of water. There were even offers from sponsors
who wanted to pay for the walkers’ t-shirts. “But it was
my dream, so I paid for them,” Mithan says.
The event itself was a great success, Mithan reports. “We
had 32 walkers who did an average of more than five loops
Winter 2017/18
Seniors’ Information
“Success comes to
those who do not give
up. I did it; so can you”
of the mall, far more than the 150 km goal we had set.
To quote Swami Vivekananda with just a bit of a twist: ‘I
am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, and
friends that turned out and joined me for the walk. They
have become part of me and are family, and turned my
dream into a reality.’”
He sums up what he learned from organizing the
Canada150 mall walk in one short sentence: “Success
comes to those who do not give up. I did it; so can you.”
Mithan is typical of the interested, involved seniors who
make up the Seniors Advisory Committee of Markham.
The Committee was organized in 2009 by the former
Town of Markham to provide its Council with infor-
mation about the needs of seniors in the community,
and to inform Markham seniors about programs and
activities of interest to them. It continues as an advisory
body to the City Council, meeting at the Civic Centre
on the second Tuesday of each month. Its 13 members
are appointed by Council.
The Committee has previously organized two Seniors
Health and Wellness Fairs, resurrected a successful
Seniors Art Showcase and Sale in the Civic Centre’s
Grand Hall, and sponsored the Seniors Extravaganza in
2016 at the Flato Markham Theatre. This October they
will again sponsor and contribute their time to the suc-
cess of the show.

Committee, check out the committee’s Facebook page at

Xiaojing Yan
Out from among the tranquil woods
Markham-based Xiaojing Yan is known for
her intricate sculptural installations that ex-
plore the intersections of the natural and cul-
tural worlds. Her work is at once simple and
complex; concrete and abstract; personal and
universal. By exploring traditional Chinese
mythology and folklore, Yan revisits her own
identity as a first generation Canadian and
offers contemporary perspectives on issues of
mortality, belonging and contemplation.

Featuring works by Zev Farber
To celebrate our 20th anniversary, a year-
long rotation of our most popular works by
Gallery. In addition, selected interventions
by contemporary artists will bring new in-
sights to the study of F.H. Varley’s work from
our collection. This fall, Zev Farber presents
Machine Fantasies/Human Events, a project
that examines the intersection of art, tech-
nology and family memory. Comprised of
sound, drawing and sculptural elements,
this new site-specific work explores ideas of
emission/transmission/reception as a way of
collapsing varied moments and narratives
from the last half-century.

The art of tea appreciation originated from
China and was formally documented in The
Classic of Tea during 780 AD. Influenced

uniting man and nature through a mindful
act of preparing, serving and enjoying tea.
In this workshop, participants will learn

which is a process of preparing a quiet and
clean environment to make and enjoy tea,
