The new building opens to the public during Applefest weekend
Markham ~ September 22, 2011 ~ On September 24, 2011, during Markham’s annual Applefest weekend, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, Councillor Carolina Moretti, Members of Markham Council and Paul Calandra, M.P. for Oak Ridges-Markham will officially open to the public the Markham Museum’s new $9-milllion, 17,000 square foot LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold standard Collections Building. It is one of the first in Canada built to these standards and is a benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance “green” buildings.
This new facility was made possible with funding support from Markham and the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage. It is a significant investment in culture in Markham and will strengthen the Museum’s role as a major regional attraction.
