Hazelview Inc., a developer, is applying to build 4 box-shaped towers (19, 17, 12, & 7 storeys) at Thornhill Square. The developer is now taking the City of Markham to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), claiming the City neglected their application. AWRA Inc. applied successfully to the OLT to act as a "Participant" in the proceedings by submitting a detailed Participant Statement.
Neighbours, let all our voices be heard! Please sign this petition to support our OLT Participant Position! AWRA Inc. intends to submit this petition during the OLT process as evidence of neighbourhood support with respect to its position regarding this redevelopment. It will also be shared with our elected officials who have been working on the file.
- Review the Executive Summary (pages 4-5) in AWRA's Participant Statement on our website. Plenty of supporting details available after page 5 for those interested. For even more background, visit the Thornhill Square page of our website.

I support Aileen-Willowbrook Residents Association Inc.'s (AWRA Inc.) position on the proposed Hazelview redevelopment of Thornhill Square, located at 288, 298, & 300 John Street, adjacent to the Thornhill Community Centre, in Thornhill/Markham.
I agree that the "subject land" should:
- respect the land use objective of “Thornhill Centre” as set out in the Markham Official Plan, Section 9.18.11.1, and in the 1987 Thornhill Secondary Plan;
- be integrated with a comprehensive urban approach to the area;
- achieve a balance between land use for residential and non-residential uses that is profitable for the landowner and addresses the needs of the community;
- make a positive impact on the livability of the area for current and future residents;
- be based on valid assumptions about transportation conditions and accurate traffic data;
- include specific traffic mitigation strategies to cope with expected population growth and increased traffic
The personal information you share below will be used SOLELY to support AWRA's case with the Ontario Land Tribunal, and will not be shared or disseminated in any other manner.
Thank you for your support!
