The Markham Youth Golf Open
|
Here is a little bit of background information on the Mayor's Youth Task Force: it is a group of diverse and dedicated teens representing the fabric of Markham's youth community. We work with the Town of Markham to run events such as the Battle of the Bands, the Amazing Markham Race and the Youth Week Kickoff. We are dedicated to raising awareness and celebrating youth, as well as being an active voice in the Town of Markham. We acknowledge the lack of competitive golf tournaments in Markham and we have addressed this by organizing one this coming spring.
