“There is a good reason why The Town of Markham continues to succeed where many others fall short ... In a nutshell, Mayor Frank Scarpitti. His ability to effectively work with all levels of government ensures that the best interests of Markham residents are always on the front burner.”

Honourable Peter Kent, P.C., M.P. Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas)
Member of Parliament for Thornhill

There are always a few who stand above the crowd.

“Since first being elected to Parliament, I have worked with dedicated individuals from all levels of government. But there are always a few who stand above the crowd. Mayor Scarpitti is one such person. Although, I try not to tinker with local politics, in this situation, I would be negligent if I did not endorse Frank.”

Hon. John McCallum
MP Markham Unionville

The Town of Markham needs to keep Frank Scarpitti at the helm

“As a former Treasurer for the Province of Ontario, I understand the challenges that governments at all levels face to maintain services while not increasing taxes or debt.

In many ways it is becoming the modern miracle.

Mayor Scarpitti and Markham Council have managed against significant odds to deliver 0% municipal tax increases for each of the last two years. That’s a worthy record. The Town of Markham needs to keep Frank Scarpitti at the helm.”

Greg Sorbara MPP, Vaughan

The many positive advances on the environment, transportation, cultural, sports and recreation and future strategic planning ... were a testament to the skills of the Mayor.

“Since 1997, I have had the privilege of being elected to Markham Council for four terms. During which, I have worked with some of the finest men and women in Canada. For personal reasons, I have decided not to seek re-election in October. However, I could not leave without commenting about the accomplishments of Mayor Scarpitti and Council during the last term. Although everyone rightfully points out that the Town was the only GTA municipality to achieve a nil tax increase in 2009 & 2010 ... but just as importantly, the many positive advances on the environment, transportation, cultural, sports and recreation and future strategic planning ... were a testament to the skills of the Mayor. I truly believe that this Council was the most productive in our proud history.”

Joe Virgilio
Markham Regional Councillor

The Town of Markham is a beacon of light for every single resident ...

“Mayor Scarpitti doesn’t just pay lip service to the concept of cultural diversity ... he embraces it. The Town of Markham is a beacon of light for every single resident ... regardless of race, culture, religion and colour of skin.”

Dr. Ken Ng Chairman, Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham
