Thank you to the Leitchcroft Community Association for co-organizing this session, which was held both in person and virtually to ensure broader participation. We also appreciate the support from YRP—Superintendent Kolin Alexander, Inspector Chad Lee Wing, and Detective Sergeant Tyler Young—for sharing their expertise and insights. The discussion covered important topics including: Break-in prevention and home safety Neighbourhood awareness and park safety Speeding concerns and road safety Practical ways residents can look out for one another One key recommendation from YRP was to join the Security Camera Registry, which helps police identify nearby cameras more efficiently during investigations. https://www.yrp.ca/reports-and-services/request-something/registration-services/security-camera-registry This is an area that Councillor Lee is committed to continuing to work on—bringing residents, community partners, and YRP closer together to build a stronger partnership and support a safe, welcoming neighbourhood for everyone. #ward8markham #councillorisalee #cityofmarkham #leitchcroftcommunityassociation https://www.ward8markham.ca/stories/markham-central-square monthly 0.5 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0724ae73c83b37a0e66355/65aa8fa1-08c3-4b4f-bffc-462f7ca81efa/MARKHAM+CENTRARL+SQUARE.png STORIES - Smart Development.

Zeekers Danz School, founded by Carol and Skylio, brings over 17 years of dance excellence, passion, and heritage to our community. Carol has choreographed for some of Asia’s biggest stars — Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Karen Mok and more — and now she’s sharing that artistry with families right here in Markham and Toronto. But the journey wasn’t easy. From zoning challenges to minor variances, the path was rough in the beginning. Starting a studio is never simple — especially when navigating a new city’s processes. That’s when our office connected with Carol. Councillor Isa Lee worked closely with City teams to support every step, ensure nothing was missed, and help speed up the process so Zeekers Danz could finally open its doors. And today… We get to witness the beginning of something truly special. Congratulations to Zeekers Danz School, and thank you for bringing your passion, culture, and energy to our community. The stage is yours — and this is only the beginning. ✨ #ZeekersDanz#CityofMarkham#Ward8markham#CouncillorIsaLee#SmallBusinessJourney https://www.ward8markham.ca/stories/dogguides monthly 0.5 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0724ae73c83b37a0e66355/f5a2daee-c898-4fd8-be8d-6935791f3dce/Dogguides.png STORIES -
