MWHA Christmas Caravan 52th Anniversary!

The 2019 Christmas Caravan will be held on Sunday December 15th.

Our 52nd Annual Christmas Caravan is taking place this Sunday December 15th at 9am and we need your help with both, donations for those less fortunate than us, as well as collection assistance! The caravan starts at 9am at the Markland Plaza with our full complement of parade regulars that include the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and Toronto Fire vehicles, The TPS Mounted Unit with their horses, our music truck playing Christmas carols, the Daily Bread Food Bank truck, the Salvation Army truck for gently used clothing, the TPS Toy Van and of course the Big Man in Red... Santa who will give candies to and take photos with all the young Marklanders.

Every home in Markland Wood will be visited during our Caravan. If you will not be home please leave your donation on your porch and one of our many elves will pick it up.

“With Great Power comes Great Responsibility” (quote from Spiderman) and there is no greater responsibility than electing (hiring) those who will govern us for the next term in office. Our future governments will determine the way we live for not only their next term in office but will also impact future generations in the way our children and grandchildren live. We are privileged to live in a country and province where we have the opportunity to elect our government and Marklanders hold a prestigious standing where we have a much higher voting turnout than most ridings in Canada, Ontario and the City of Toronto. Obviously the residents of Markland Wood care about how we live and our future generations.

The act of voting takes only moments but will have a huge impact on lives. With that being said, it is the MWHA’s honour to provide you with the opportunity to meet, question and learn about your Municipal candidates who will be asking for your vote. At the time of writing this article, there are only a few candidates who are declared and will ask for your vote in the upcoming Toronto Municipal Election on October 22nd, however, we expect many others from various Parties to participate and of course, all are welcome.
