Q: There is less than a week until the reunion, can I register and pay at the Old Arena on Friday night or at the school on Saturday or at the Fair Grounds Saturday night?
A: Yes. It is now too late to send your registration by mail. We were asking for pre-registration to help us plan the food and facilities for the number of attendees. You will be able to register and pay at the Old Arena on Friday night or at the school on Saturday or at the Fair Grounds on Saturday night.

Q: Where can I get my registration form?
A: The registration form is available right here. Download the form from this link. Print it, and send it in with the appropriate payment. Most of the businesses on Main Street, Markham will have registration forms as well. Watch for us at the Markham Festival of Lights. You can also contact Bonnie, our registration coordinator, at bonnie@mdhsreunion.ca and she will send you out a form by mail. Some forms will also be available at the school.

Some of the daytime events are free, such as the Decade Rooms at the School, while for the Variety Show, reservations are required.

Q: I plan to attend the daytime events at the school on Saturday with my Guest. Does my Guest also have to pay $15 for the registration?

Q: Why should I attend?
A: The reunion will give you the opportunity to re-connect with friends from the past perhaps for the first time since you attended or worked at MDHS, and catch up on their lives. There will be lots of opportunity to relive memories with displays and photographs of the past while you tour the school and stroll down Main Street. And it's going to be a great time!

Q: I don't live in Markham anymore. Can you recommend somewhere to stay for the weekend?
A: We are planning to partner with local hotels. Check the Accommodations link on this website for a complete list of local hotels and bed and breakfast locations. Some hotels are even offering reunion packages.

Q: Where are the activities taking place?
A: All of activities are centered in the town of Markham, on Main Street, at the school, and at the Fairgrounds. Check the map link on this website for more specific details.

Q: Who can I bring with me?
A: You may bring anyone you wish with you.

The cost for registration to take part in any or all events during the weekend is $15 for Alumni or Staff. If your guest did not attend or work at MDHS, the $15 registration fee is not required, unless you want the gift package for your guest.

There is an extra cost of $15 per person to attend the Staff Brunch. There is an extra cost of $25 per person to attend the Saturday night buffet and dance at the Fair Grounds.

We are not providing any activities specifically for children.

Q: How will the reunion be publicized?
A: Most of the advertising will be done right here on the website. There will be booths at the Unionville and Markham festivals in the spring and at the Markham Fair in the fall. We are discovering that friends telling friends and more informal networking are doing a lot of advertising.

Q: What’s the difference between the Registration Form and the Member Forum Signup?
A: The Reunion Registration Form is a document you print and send via mail in order to attend the reunion event in May. The Member Forum Signup is an electronic form you complete in order to participate in online discussions about topics relating to MDHS.

Q: How Can I find out if I’m registered for the reunion?
A: If you have submitted a cheque for reunion events, the cashing of that cheque is verification that you are indeed registered.
