Glenn Crosby I have known Khalid Usman for more than 15 years sitting with him on a number of Boards including the Markham Board of Trade and, currently, the Unionville Home Society operator of Unionville. Khalid is a committed member of every organization he gets involved with. With his financial background, he will make a significant contribution to Markham Council as they continue to manage during these challenging times. I have learned from his pragmatic approach to issues; he looks for solutions that make sense and deliver the best value for dollars spent. We need the experience and the compassion back on Markham Council so I say, Vote for Khalid. You will be very well represented. |

I served with him on the Board of the Unionville Home Society and on the Government Relations Committee of the Markham Board of Trade. He is amazingly public spirited and has contributed enormously to the social fabric of Markham and York Region. He has been instrumental in raising literally millions of dollars for projects such as Markham Stouffville Hospital's expansion. With his accounting background and his commitment to get the best value for money for taxpayers dollars, Markham needs Khalid back on Markham Council |
