Markham Boot Camp Closed

The Markham Boot Camp is closed indefinitely.

Officer Terry Durkin stated that t
he camp was discontinued because the City of
Markham currently has no insurance.  The city's insurance policy was cancelled by
the insurer due to numerous large payouts in settlements for suits brought against
the City of Markham.  None of these law suits had anything to do with the Boot
Camp.

The city is currently seeking another insurer.
