Markham communities represent the full range of human experience, from all stages of life, abilities and ethno-cultural backgrounds.

• Diversity
  Diversity is one of Markham's Strategic Priorities. Our objective is to engage Markham's diverse communities and foster a greater understanding of diversity through community partnerships. We can do this by enhancing our boards and committees, make Town services more accessible, develop an effective communications plan, engage and education Town staff.
  
  
• Accessibility
  Markham is committed to ensuring that all residents have full and equal access to its facilities, services and information. Accessibility makes it possible for people with all levels of ability to take advantage of everything Markham has to offer.
  Our goal is to reduce barriers to as many people as possible in the physical environment, customer service and communications. This includes new multilingual services and assistive communication technologies.
