About

Markham Ontario is a beautiful and cozy city in the Greater Toronto Area. It was founded in the 1790’s and is home to more than 350 000 people. It is a city that embraces a mix of beautiful cultures and is Canada’s most diverse community. The heart of this little town has an elegant aspect of old meets new. In Markham, you will find quiet suburban neighborhoods, big towering skyscrapers, greenery and lovely old homes. 

There are many things to do in Markham. There are many parks, recreational activities, museums, cultural sightseeing activities as well as historical sights. Though this little city located only 19 miles from downtown Toronto offers plenty of different activities, it is often overlooked by tourists. The richness of the local community is so distinct and notable that it is a highly recommended place to visit. 

Markham has a strong local economy. It is known for its over – one thousand high tech and life science companies. There are hundreds of corporate offices, creating lots of opportunities for both locals and newcomers. 

Given the large population and the many head offices it’s safe to say that pretty much anything can be found in Markham. Therefore, big chain stores and online mega stores don’t always (and shouldn’t) have to be the option. Local independent businesses usually come with better customer service and better sales. 

Markhamon.com has built an online marketplace, along with a large directory with many local businesses, in order to market and advertise the products and services they offer. 

Through here, as a community, we have enabled consumers and locals to buy online and in-store, read and write reviews, purchase items using coupons, view restaurant menus, find opening hours, purchase gift certificates, and even contact local business owners directly through email or phone.

This, consequently, creates a lot of value for the community and that – is our goal: To remind us all to stick to and support local!
