Consultation has concluded
The City of Markham honours the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, at the age of 96.
Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning British monarch, and longest-serving woman head of state in world history. Her reign saw the Queen as the head of 54 Commonwealth countries. The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrating 70 years of her reign was marked in 2022.
Among her many accomplishments, Her Majesty dedicated her life to public service, and was patron of more than 600 charities and organizations, of which 36 are in Canada.
The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) and The Duke of Edinburgh first toured Canada in the fall of 1951. Since her accession to the Throne, Her Majesty has completed more royal tours in Canada than to any other Commonwealth country. The Queen's 2010 tour marked her 22nd official tour, and final tour of Canada as our Queen.
The City of Markham extends its condolences to His Majesty, the King on the passing of his mother, and to The Royal Family.
For those wishing to share messages in memory of The Queen, the virtual Book of Condolence will be available until September 29.
May she rest in peace.

Queen Elizabeth ll will always be remembered for her utmost dedication in serving the people of the commonwealth for 70 years. She has inspired us with "messages of hope" in turbulent times. I will miss her quick wit, sense of humour and loving personality which made her so endearing to many. Thank you for being a remarkable leader. My condolences to the Royal Family.
