support local tourism and economic growth

Markham’s infrastructure is vital to local businesses as its tourism sector brings

thousands of visitors to the region each year. The Government of Canada is committed

to supporting communities, like Markham, as they recover from the pandemic to position

them for strong and resilient economic growth.

Today, the Honourable Helena Jaczek, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic

Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) and Member of Parliament

for Markham–Stouffville, announced over $3.1 million for seven community

infrastructure and tourism projects in Markham. With these investments, through

the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) and the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF),

recipients will build and enhance community infrastructure, safely welcome back visitors

and strengthen the local economy.

The Corporation of the City of Markham is receiving a non-repayable contribution of

over $2.9 million for six community infrastructure projects. This includes support for

installing new playground equipment at up to nine parks, installing a splash pad at

Millennium Park, constructing off-road trails at Rouge Valley, and improving 2.85 kms of

new sidewalks. The announcement was made at an event hosted by the City of

Markham at Wismer Park, one of the locations of the Trees for Tomorrow initiative

which will enhance 18 existing parks and valley lands through the addition of trees and

saplings to welcome back visitors to the parks.

Additionally, a $200,000-investment was also announced for Destination Markham to
