Wow it's so cute! I like it. I didn't know it was like that, I've never actually been to that part of the GTA... yet.

Can you count the SUV's/Trucks? hahaha

Nice pictures!

But, isn't Markham a town rather than a city?

Nope. Not in a defacto sense anyways. I'd call it a city despite it's ridiculous status.

It's still a town by official nomenclature.

Nearby Vaughan is a city though.

Yeah, so? What's wrong with someone casually calling it a city when that's what it's size essentially makes it? Sometimes, using official terminology is silly.

Why is it still a town, anyways?

Surprisingly charming. One of Canada's silicon valleys, the others being Ottawa and Waterloo. My sister works in Markham!

Thanks for the tour.

Maybe it's a town surrounded by a sea of suburbia? I think Vaughan was officially a town until recently as well.

Good question! Cities calling themselves towns seems to be a GTA thing.

Apparently so...the eleven largest towns in Canada are all in the GTA. Markham, Oakville, Richmond Hill, Whitby, Ajax, Newmarket, Caledon, Halton Hills, Milton, Aurora, and Georgina. Only with #12 Lakeshore do we move over to the Windsor area :speech:
