In 2025, we're continuing our engagement with York University's community partners. With our Markham campus now open and the School of Medicine approved and planned for opening in 2028, we're looking ahead to a bright future.
Here are some highlights of our activities so far this year:
Markham Community Skate Day
At the beginning of February, the York team was at the Markham Civic Centre for our annual Markham Community Skate Day event. Thanks to Councillor Reid McAlpine and MP Paul Chiang and all of the community members who joined us! It was a cold day, but the skating and hot chocolate certainly warmed us up. Special shout out to the York University Figure Skating Club, who joined us this year and showed off their very impressive talents on the ice.
Lunar New Year
This year, the University was pleased to once again support Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti's Lunar New Year celebration dinner. A major event for community, business leaders and public officials from across the region, it was wonderful to celebrate with everyone.
