Markland Wood | Community Established in 1960
Markland Wood Homeowners The Markland Wood Homeowners Association is pleased to present our website for all the Markland Wood community residents and visitors to enjoy. Welcome to our neighbourhood.
Have you noticed the budding trees? The blooming bulbs? The greener grass? Spring is no longer in the air...it is here! I anticipate summer within a week. Only a true Canadian can appreciate my sarcasm!
Here are a few dates to look forward to this month: On May 4th, Millwood Junior School will celebrate their 50th Anniversary. For more information, please visit our website at www.marklandwood.org. Victoria Day weekend is always the perfect time to prepare for our Annual Community Garage Sale, which will take place on May 25th. People come from all over the city to find those great deals sitting on our driveways! If you’ve never participated, it is very easy. The MWHA takes care of the advertising and all you have to do is sell your stuff. Simple!

Airport Update - March 28, 2013
As of the end of March 2013, there is no known change to the night flights permitted at Toronto Pearson. Nevertheless, in the absence of an announced decision from the Minister’s office and to maintain a focus on protecting our future sleep, we continue communication with relevant people at all three levels of government. In addition, we foster links with other important Toronto community organizations such as the Toronto Aviation Noise Group (T. A. N. G.).
The GTAA has taken on the services of Frontier Economics, a British business service organization specializing in analyzing and presenting the economic importance of various business sectors, including airports. Their Toronto Pearson study, “Engagement Strategy - Global Hub Economic Development Study”, is expected to “produce a compelling and credible story that motivates governments, community stakeholders, and other key opinion leaders to act in ways that support the development and differentiation of Toronto Pearson as a hub airport. An effective engagement strategy and communications plan will be a key element in ensuring maximum impact of the study.”

Congratulations Isabella Griffin, our eight year old Markland Wood artist! Thank you to all those children who submitted a picture for our front page. I must say, it is never an easy decision to make, as each one was an impressive piece of art. Remember, there is always next year! |
On Saturday, May 25th, 2013, the Markland Wood Homeowners Association and the whole neighbourhood will once again host "The World's Largest Community Garage Sale."
We said, "Come one, come all to the greatest bargains in the Greater Toronto Area!"
This year’s Christmas Caravan will be remembered as another challenging weather day.
2008 gave us the snow storm of all snow storms. This year it was pouring rain!
As we arrrive at the plaza on Caravan morning to meet the volunteers, I never know how many will show up, and with the weather the way it was, I was even more uncertain.
Never fear….the Caravaners were here!
Out of the 40 or so volunteers, only two young lads have come for the first time. The regulars know that whatever the weather has in store, Caravan goes on.
