Greetings to Markland Wood!

I can’t believe it is the holiday season already and a new decade is fast approaching! I wonder what the next 10 years will bring for our community? I hope they will be good ones for everyone.

In the meantime, we have to get through this holiday season and as the song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Markland Wood is already beginning to look like a winter wonderland! The lights are lit, the decorations are hung and the Christmas trees are beginning to appear in the windows! Take a drive or a walk in the evening and observe how beautiful our community looks! However, this time of year can be rather hectic so I do hope you can take the opportunity to appreciate the joys of this season.

The agenda was tabled for June 6th, where 11 Etobicoke/York City Councillors would accept or reject the Planning report to recommend a rezoning change.
