Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti is asking the Ontario government to consolidate York Region into one large city.York Region consists of nine municipalities — Markham, Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King Township, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Whitchurch-Stouffville. It also has a regional government — the Regional Municipality of York.
"The provincial government has taken bold steps restructuring the City of Toronto council and Peel Region and should be doing the same in York Region," Scarpitti said in the letter, dated June 14. "There is no rationale for taking bold steps in other GTA cities and keeping the status quo in York Region."
