The most obvious thing that comes to mind when one mentions Markham, Ontario is the high concentration of high-tech industry. Markham is just north of the city of Toronto<\/a> as one crosses Steeles Avenue. Apart from signs posted at the side of the road that now you are in a different city there really isn’t any noticeable boundary.<\/p>\n

\"Markham<\/a><\/p>\n

One building might have an address in Toronto<\/a> and the next one in Markham. Residential areas often have nearly identical looking houses, here is an example, just cross the Toronto-Markham boarder at Milliken Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Houses<\/a>

Residential area in Markham, on McCowan Road, just across Steeles Ave. from Toronto<\/a> (Scarborough).
