Markland Wood
Markland Wood is the most western residential community in Toronto along Bloor Street. It's located on land originally owned by John Silverthorn who built a saw and grist mill on the nearby river bank then purchased by Mark Cavotti in September 1958. Markland is wrapped nearly entirely by the Markland Wood Country Club that follows the lowlands around Etobicoke Creek. In fact, there are only 4 entrances to the community!
The Markland Homes Association organizes and promotes many worthwhile endeavours:

• Including the annual Christmas Caravan,
• All Candidates Nights meetings,
• And a scholarship program for residents of Markland Wood who are going on to University.
• The Markland Home Association also publishes a monthly newsletter called the "Marklander," which keeps residents informed about the goings on in their neighbourhood.

• Many green spaces, larger lots, and neighbourhood character built into solid brick homes, beautiful landscaping and quiet cul-de-sacs.
• Many homeowners grew up in the area and have returned with their families.
• There are many upscale condos, and housing styles date from the 1960s, with detached two-storey Georgian and Regency Revivals, backsplits and modern bungalows.
