“Ivy Lee has many strengths to offer as a candidate for Markham Regional Councillor. Her wisdom, knowledge, vision, experience, and connections enable her to represent Markham and York Region residents and businesses effectively. She will be a particularly clear voice and energetic advocate for people who most need support during these increasingly challenging times, especially families, women, seniors, youth, and entrepreneurs.

I’ve worked with Ivy on her award-winning Modesty magazine, and also in providing marketing services to Markham businesses, as well as companies overseas seeking opportunities here. Our clients and associates have respected Ivy and appreciated the information, connections, and perspectives that she provides.

Numerous politicians from federal, provincial, and municipal governments attended the events that we organized and staffed. They demonstrated admiration for Ivy and her many contributions to the growth of Markham’s business sector and her commitment to the community.

In assisting Ivy with her campaigns during this election and previously, I’ve seen consistent diligence and effectiveness in her pursuit of a better quality of life for the people of the City of Markham and York Region. Ivy knows and understands this community well, and will serve on Council with vigor, integrity, capability, compassion, and dedication.”

“You can trust in Ivy Lee’s leadership to build a better future for the city of Markham. Her values towards affordable housing ensures everyone has an opportunity to build a family in Markham. Her integrity and hard work ethic makes her stand out from the rest.”

“Ivy Lee is incredibly hard-working, passionate and has a strong sense of empathy for others. I have seen her overcome many tough challenges in life and resolve conflicts and difficult situations with remarkable patience and admirable tact. She has been an active community member in Markham for many years and I believe she would be an excellent Regional Councillor to meet the needs of Markham’s residents and businesses.”

“I've known Ivy Lee since 2009, when she helped me expand CEC, my business at that time, assisting newcomers to succeed. Ivy is a dynamite, super-woman, with a high energy level and passion for helping others.

Her life story amazes me. As a young woman, she defeated all odds, became a business owner, migrated to Canada, furthered her education, and raised her family in the City of Markham. And all these years later, she retains that same fire and ambition!

Through Ivy’s love of Markham, she has become an unofficial public servant. She truly C. A. R. E. S. for the people of this community, and this commitment has become her campaign platform. ”

“I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Ivy Lee, a woman with an incredible work ethic and a big heart. I’ve seen her work create impactful and positive change for the Markham community. Her integrity, can-do attitude and ability to get things done really set her apart from other candidates I’ve seen. Ivy earns my highest recommendation for Regional Councillor of Markham.”

“I hope to see Ivy Lee elected to take care of Markham Regional Council. From the time I’ve met Ivy Lee prior to opening my fitness club in Markham (THE MARKHAM GYM) she has helped me resolve issues, build relationships and progress. Ivy Lee never disappointed me, she always has good intentions, she is a friend indeed. I support Ivy Lee.”

“Ivy Lee is a business woman with integrity, love and patience. She has a clear sense of community and purpose. Her contributions and persistence in bringing positive changes to the City of Markham is admirable. Throughout her life, Ivy has been striving for progress. She knows what the community expects of the government, and what the government should do to fulfil on those expectations. If Ivy is elected, she will fight for her constituency and voters to be heard at City Council.”

“I fully endorse Ivy and her CARES campaign. Markham will be better for having Ivy as a regional counsellor.”

“I fully endorse Ivy Lee for Regional Councillor.

The same thinking by past politicians has not produced real results on the key issues.

Ivy Lee and her CARES campaign indicate that this successful Markham mother, resident, and a business lady has listened to and understands the key issues.

Her past successes as a selfless hard-working results orientated community volunteer, collaborator, and business owner give her the credentials to get the job done.

We need a strong female voice on the regional council to “make Markham an even better place”.”
