JIM JONES

Markham Regional Councillor

Building a Network of Vibrant Communities

Dear Markham Neighbours

Thank you for the privilege of helping plan and build our community for the last 35 years.

Markham is entering a new era of growth and innovation. We need experienced leadership with a clear plan for the future. My vision is a prosperous, connected, environmentally responsible and financially strong Markham—ready for the economy of tomorrow.

I have worked hard, had the courage to think ahead and have had a clear vision for the future. This brochure outlines that vision.

Markham and York Region are entering a period of extraordinary change. Population growth, housing affordability, traffic congestion, artificial intelligence, energy demand and global economic competition will affect virtually every family.

We must solve all of these challenges together, not one project at a time.

Transportation, housing, jobs, infrastructure, technology, energy, parks, healthcare, education and economic development must be planned together.

If you give me the opportunity, that is the approach I will continue to bring to Markham and York Region Council.

My objective is straightforward:

Protect our quality of life today while building the opportunities our children and grandchildren will need tomorrow.

親愛的萬錦市居民：

35年來，我努力不懈，勇於前瞻思考，並始終對未來抱持清晰的願景。

萬錦市正邁向一個成長與創新的新時代。我們需要有經驗的領導，並對未來有清晰的規劃。我的願景，是打造一個繁榮、交通便捷、重視環境、財政穩健的萬錦市，為明日的經濟發展做好準備。 多年來，我一直努力工作，勇於前瞻思考，並對萬錦市的未來抱持清晰的願景。這本小冊子將向您介紹我的願景。

萬錦市與約克區正進入一個重大轉變的時代。人口增長、住房負擔、交通擠塞、人工智能、能源需求，以及全球經濟競爭，都將直接影響我們每一個家庭。

面對這些挑戰，我們必須以整體和長遠的眼光共同規劃，而不是逐一處理個別項目。

交通、住房、就業、基礎建設、科技、能源、公園、醫療、教育及經濟發展，都必須統籌規劃、相互配合。

如果大家再次給我機會，我將繼續以這樣的理念，在萬錦市及約克區議會為大家服務。

我的目標很明確：

守護我們今天的生活質素，同時為我們的子女及下一代，建設更美好的未來與更多機會。

PLANNING MARKHAM'S FUTURE NOW

I always try to balance the growth of our community while keeping Markham a desirable place to live, work, play and raise your family. Over the next 25-30 years, through the Ontario "Growth Plan" an additional 5 million people will move into the Greater Toronto Area including over 300,000 additional people to Markham with 1 million people to all of York Region. We must get ready by boosting density in transit areas that will become Network Oriented Communities (NOC).

My vision is to transform the Stouffville GO Commuter Transit Line into a destination Light Rail Transit (LRT) line with the goal to increase the 2021 daily ridership from 18,500 to 350,000 daily ridership by 2051.
