Industrial Area Property Standards
Businesses in the Employment Area are subject to provincial Environmental Protection Act rules and to municipal Property Standards.

The rules are often not enforced unless people complain.
If you notice problems, please notify customerservice@markham.ca and copy AWRA.thornhill@gmail.com.
For Continuing Issues
- Littered, Messy or Uncut Lawns and Boulevards - bring a plastic bag on your walks
- Nauseous Odours emanating from Industrial Area
- Industrial Area messy properties - we continue to monitor for spring and summer ongoing compliance
- Rat Infestation improved but still:
- DON’T leave your garbage & recycling bins outdoors overnight
- DO keep your garbage & recycling bins in the garage until garbage day.
