Yet another increasingly diverse city in all of Canada, Markham continues to be a prime landing spot for new settlers in the country, especially for those who are of Asian heritage. As a matter of fact, nearly half of its residents are of Chinese descent, while its second largest population of visible minorities is from Southeast Asia. Highly accessible from Toronto, Markham offers great modern developments and diverse work opportunities, making it one of the best cities to live in Canada. 

Top things to do:
  • Purchase the freshest fruits and organic vegetables at the Reesor Organic Farm
    Catch live musical performances at the Flato Markham Theatre 
  • Appreciate the eclectic neighbourhoods of Unionville and Markham Village on a bike ride 
  • Visit heritage stations like the 1871 Markham Go Station or the Unionville Go Station
