New MHA Markland Wood Logo Congratulations Marklanders!

Thanks to everyone who responded to our call for ideas for a community logo and slogan. Due to your inspired input, we now have a winning design, a composite of all the many ideas sent in.

It was unveiled at the Markland Homes Association Annual Meeting on June 6, 2005 by Councillor Holyday and Patrick Clifford, MHA President.

The slogan "A Circle of Friends" captures the essence of what it feels like to live here, surrounded by so many warm and friendly people. The circle is also a reference to our unique layout of streets, with Markland Drive being one of the few complete circular streets in all of Toronto.

The circular logo captures the same idea and builds on it. The blue background of the circle symbolizes the circular shape formed by Etobicoke Creek and Renforth Creek. Aerial photos of our neighbourhood show this distinctive geography.

The Maple leaf symbolizes Canada and the Alder leaf stands for Etobicoke, which is derived from the Mississauga First Nation term for "the place where the alders grow". (Ojibwa)

The logo will be added to the MHA letterhead and the front page of all future Marklanders. It represents our entire neighbourhood. It complements but does not replace the slogan and logo of the Markland Homes Association, which has remained unchanged since 1962.
