As we approach the holiday season, it's important to remember that not everyone is as fortunate as we are.To help those in need,
I’m hosting a food drive event, "Markham Helping Hands 2025," with Markham Fire & Emergency Service and other community partners.
Starting December 2025 until January 2026, please consider donating non-perishable, unopened food items.
You can drop off your contributions at the entrance of the following
locations:
Foodymart: 5221 Hwy 7, Markham
Cherish Integrated Services: 1271 Denison Street, Unit 64, Markham
Santan Mandir Cultural Centre (Markham): 9333 Woodbine Ave, Markham
There is a box where you can easily deposit your donations.
Thank you for your generosity and support!


Applications for the York Region 2026 Summer Student Program are now open!
Student applications will be accepted from January 6 to January 25, 2026. Please visit our job application portal to apply directly and be sure to review the eligibility requirements prior to applying. As a student at York Region, you will not only gain exposure in the public sector, but also have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful initiatives, connect with leaders and peers and explore your career path to find your passion!
Join us this summer and get up close to the world of government, find out what excites and inspires you, and where it could take you.
Speeding is an ongoing issue I have been working hard to tackle, and I continue to partner with York Regional Police (YRP) to deter this behaviour.
In addition, my office has “slow down” signs. If you are interested, kindly contact me at alan.ho@markham.ca.
