Diversity is a priority at Markham. Our programs and services meet the diverse needs of our residents. We also promote inclusion in the workplace and in the community. And, we want people with diverse backgrounds to work here! That’s why we’ve put together a Diversity Action Plan (PDF).

We also help job applicants with disabilities during recruitment, selection and assessment. If you need help during the recruitment process, please contact our Human Resources department via Contact Centre at 905.475.4700 or hrinfo@markham.ca.
