Building a Creative Markham - Have your say!

The Town of Markham is developing a 10 year plan that will enhance and promote cultural activity and expression in our community.

Our first step is to reach out to you.

Please take a few moments to complete a brief surveyexternal link opens new window  to tell us about the cultural activities you enjoy in Markham. What steps could we take now to support a thriving economy and enhance quality of life through culture? Your feedback will bring together our diverse experiences and strengthen Markham’s cultural community.

Results from this survey and other public comments will be part of the Building a Creative Markham: 10 Year Culture Plan presented to Council in Spring 2011.
