    Don't forget to look up for your number, it's not easy to see.

    I decided to renew my driver's license and health card early, since my wife waited almost three hours last year, in the hot sun. I wasn't able to do this online since a new photo is required every five years. The lineup was long, but not too bad, I estimated about 45 minutes. I didn't notice the ticket machine, so make sure you get a ticket right away. There was also a security guard checking the number status. There were only two staff members working, so the process was slow. I read the instructions online beforehand, but failed to bring my passport! After a bit of persuasion, I was able to use my credit card, auto insurance policy, along with my current driver's license and health card. The fee is $90 (5 years) for the driver's license. I received a statement that I could use until my new card arrived in the mail, but I didn't need it since I chose to renew way ahead of my birthday. I would highly suggest getting the renewal done early (if you need a photo taken), since it can be uncomfortable waiting outside during our hot summers or cold winters.

    I been to going to this particular Service Ontario locations to renew my vehicle stickers and driver licence for years... It is not the most exciting thing to do... but I always find that all the ladies that works here really enjoy their work. I always greeted with a smile or a little joke here and there and they really knows what they are doing as I always get in and out so fast! There is always at least 4 people working at the counter and my wait is always less than 10 minutes even if there were a line up. BTW, now you can even come and renew your Health Card here!

    Long line ups !!

Markham Civic Centre is one of them. I think of Markham Civic Centre as Markham's City Hall. I've come here for a bunch of different services and events since I became a Markhamite twice (first time moving here with my parents and my current stint since returning to the GTA from Winnipeg many moons ago). During my undergraduate years, I came here with a friend who wanted to get a marriage licence. He didn't want to try getting one in Toronto, so we came here instead. It was fairly easy to get one. You can also get married here if you wanted to! Back in the late 2000's, another friend felt bad missing my birthday, which was sweet. It wasn't a huge deal to me. She took me to my first Markham Ribfest. It was held at Markham Civic Centre. I will say that it was a weird setup. Markham Ribfest needed a bigger venue. The ribfest vendors fit here just fine. However, parking was an issue. The lot is decent for regular visitors during business hours. It can't handle massive crowds for events that go into the evening. We actually parked across the street in front of the No Frills and walked over. I will say that this event was my first ribfest and it was awesome! I love going to any ribfest that I can during the summertime. During this period, maybe before ServiceOntario supported health card renewals, I had to get my photo taken for my Ontario health card at Markham Civic Centre. The building was specific, but I got there just fine. My photo was taken and all was great. Since then, I have always hit a ServiceOntario location to have my photo taken when I need a new one for my driver's licence or Ontario health card. I'm not sure why the photoshoot happened here. I'm glad that I got my photo taken somewhere! During the wintertime, you can skate here for free. It's not as elaborate as a setup that you get at Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square with a place to rent your skates, music, a snack stand, and so on. You simply bring yourself and your skates, and have at it. In the summertime, this artificial skating rink becomes a lovely water fountain. It's nice to sit down and admire it. I'm happy that Markham Civic Centre exists. I don't frequent it as much as I should, but it's there when I need services or just want to be a tourist in my backyard. (494)

    I planned a wedding here as a bridesmaid…read more Pros + Price: it is inexpensive to host a quick ceremony here. + Parking: there's plenty of space, especially during weekends. Cons - Time: be mindful that you have a maximum of 60 minutes. The following wedding that was hosted afterwards commenced shortly after we were through. - Inconvenient: to book the space, you need to come to city hall twice during business hours to arrange a time and confirm. This isn't the easiest to do if you have a 9-5.

    This Milliken Mills branch of Markham Public Library (MPL) is my home branch. It's where I first…read moregot my first Markham library card when I moved back to Markham from Winnipeg. If you work, live, or go to school in Markham, you are eligible for a free library card. You basically go to the customer service counter, and present identification that shows your current name and address. You'll be asked to provide your phone number and e-mail address. It doesn't take long to get your card and a key tag version of it. This library is located inside Milliken Mills Community Centre. The closest door to enter the library is across from Milliken Mills Park. There is lots of parking. Staff have always been helpful and nice if you have any questions. They are patient, likely because there are children programs and you have to be. This library is older. It does have a decent multimedia section. You can rent audiobooks, movie DVDs, and more. The book selection is decent. It depends on what you are looking for. The fiction section is great. The newer books are more challenging to nab because the demand is great. I like the cookbook section. As great as it is to look up recipes online, it's a nice throwback to grab a cookbook, leaf through it, and spot a recipe that I'd like to try. I end up taking a photo of it these days. It's easier than trying to photocopy it for eons past. The washrooms are a part of the community centre. You have to exit the library and walk down the corridor to get to it. It's a hit-or-miss situation with cleanliness. There is wifi throughout the community centre. It's free and it works well. If you feel like a snack or meal, there's a McDonald's at the far end with a drive-thru. I seem to visit it more these days than the library. I have spent more time at this library doing work when wifi was an issue years ago. I ended up ditching Rogers for TekSavvy and haven't had to come here to be productive with wifi connectivity. It's a decent library. I should return more often. (467)

    Milliken Mills Branch Library located at Kennedy just south of 14th Avenue…read more This is one of the older Library system that in need of some sort of renovation. Built pre internet area, the power outlets for my laptops are not easy to find... There are some comfortable sofa style seatings, that I want to park myself with my laptop but unfortunately, no electric outlets are in sight. They do have some new metal looking partitions study stations that have individual power outlets... A lot of the furnitures here are quite old...and Walmart looking... hopefully they will have the budget to replace some of them. Kudos to their hardcover books collections! A lot of the previous Bestsellers they still carries multiple copies... Good to drop by to pick up a book or 2 when you have nothing better to do than the read a book. The Wifi connection here is much better than the one at Unionville library.. a lot faster and more stable! :) This will be another of my Yelp office when I am in the area! Oh and by the way, McDonalds is in the same building!! So you see people popping out to get a coffee from there or even going out for a break and snack on McDonalds goodies! :P
