Vision

We inspire a life-long curiosity of, pride in, and care for, the people, tangible heritage, places, lands and waterways of the City of Markham: past, present and future.

Mission

We will examine Markham by engaging technologies developed and used by all human cultures to live in the natural world; agriculture and food; material culture; engineering; and environmental. We will engage science, industry, history and the arts to understand how Markham became what it is today and what its possible futures could be.
