Social Media Comments Terms & Conditions

The purpose of Markham's social network is to connect with our residents, businesses and visitors. It is not a political forum.

Corporate Communications staff regularly monitor Markham's Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube accounts. Comments will be addressed during municipal business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays) in as timely a fashion as possible. For inquiries contact Dennis Flaherty, Director - Corporate Communications, 905.415.7520, dflaherty@markham.ca.

Please review our Comments Policy before posting your feedback.
