Michelle Irwin - Manager

Michelle joined the Markham Fairgrounds in August of 2008. She was previously employed with a property management company, reporting to the Director of Property Management. She also has experience in Leasing and office administration.

Michelle brought her two children to the Markham Fair every year as they were growing up. She feels there is a great need in this growing suburban area to continue the tradition of the Fair’s agricultural education.
Her goal for the Fairgrounds is to keep the buildings and grounds busy all year with rentals old and new, drawing attention to the Fairgrounds, and bringing more and more people to the Fair itself.
She is delighted to be a part of the “Markham Fair Family”!

Mick Erskine - Property Manager

Mick is the liaison with renters during move-in and move-outs. He is the main contact for renters during events.

Mick's duties include dealing with tenants, building repair, ground improvement, cleaning, garden maintenance, general fabrications and snow removal, to be coordinated with the Directors' wishes. Mick oversees the cleaning and maintenance staff and performs emergency on call duties.

Lynda Goodwin - Administrative Assistant

Lynda is the “front lines” of the Markham Fair office. Greeting visitors, answering phones, and dealing with correspondence, she is the person all members and guests first meet as they walk through the door of the Fair office. She looks after the huge job of putting the Prize Book together, among the many other items on her “to do” list. She enjoys the interaction with all committee members, and the warmth of the “Fair Family” never ceases to amaze her. A former resident of Uxbridge Lynda now resides in Markham. Her five children and husband all enjoy the Markham Fair.
