FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PLANS FOR FUTURE LAY GROUNDWORK FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS IN MARKHAM

OAKVILLE, Ontario, Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - Today, Perspective Marketing Inc. announced the release of Perspective™ Markham 2009, a report outlining the competitiveness of the Town of Markham as a place for business and high quality of life. The publication was distributed throughout Ontario in copies of the Globe and Mail, and to select households in Markham via Canada Post.

The Town of Markham recently completed two plans that will serve as guides as the town moves forward. Building Markham's Future Together and Markham 2020 detail the town's advantages and areas where the town will work to bolster its competitiveness. Markham 2020 details the town's action plan for ensuring Markham is a destination for global business, while Building Markham's Future Together is an umbrella plan for 31 individual action plans based on six priorities: growth management, transportation/transit, environment, municipal services, integrated leisure master plan/public safety, and diversity.

"The Town of Markham is one of Canada's fastest growing communities," says Glenn Marshall, Managing Partner at Perspective Marketing Inc. "With an increase in population comes an increase in business, and the town is working to provide its private sector with the means to compete in a competitive business world. The town is also striving, through a number of social and environmental programs, to enhance the quality of life for its residents."

The publication is introduced with a message from Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, where readers are informed of the town's many successes and future plans. Articles include updates on the many construction projects taking place in the town, and Markham's growing excellence as a community dedicated to environmental sustainability. The town's commitment to its cultural vitality is highlighted, and a progress report on Downtown Markham gives readers the inside scoop on one of North America's most ambitious downtown revitalization projects.

"Markham is a very diverse community in many ways," says Marshall. "The town is very welcoming to new Canadians as is evidenced by its large ethnic communities. Likewise, Markham's businesses are diverse, giving the town many advantages in attracting new corporate entities and talented professionals."

Perspective™ Markham is part of a series of Perspective Marketing Inc. publications reporting on municipalities in Ontario. There are currently 20 editions, a number expected to grow to 24 by the end of 2009. All Perspective Marketing Inc. publications are archived in the National Library of Canada.
