Markham's Flag Bearer and Summer Break Survey
Leave a response and get a chance win $50 to Rogue River Brewery!
Good Morning Markhamites,
Did you hear? Markville is getting a full-size Indigo store where the Old Navy used to be. What this means for the existing Indigo Spirit store or the Chapters at First Markham Place remains to be seen.
As we approach the Middle of summer and come up on almost a year of the Markhamite, we will take a quick break until mid-August. In the meantime, I’m running a quick survey with open responses that I hope to share over the next two weeks.
You can win a $50 gift card to Rouge River Brewery if you answer these three questions. As always, we welcome any other open submissions if you’ve got something on your mind.
Today’s read time is less than 2 minutes.
Andre De Grasse Named flag bearer for the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Pretty cool for a kid from Markham - Andre De Grasse has been named as the opening ceremonies flag bearer for Canada, alongside Olympic Weightlifter Maude Charron. In a press release, Andre said that when he got the call he was” Speechless”, both because of the honour but also because as Track and Field athletes, they don’t often participate in the opening ceremonies since their events start until the second week.
What a great honour to represent Markham and Canada on the world stage. All of Canada, but especially Markham, is behind you, Andre!
