Markland Wood is a quiet, residential neighbourhood located in Etobicoke (west Toronto), Ontario, Canada bounded by Etobicoke Creek to the west, Elmcrest (Renforth) Creek to the east and surrounded by the Markland Wood Country Club, golf coarse. Markland Wood is the western most residential community in Toronto along Bloor Street West, which cuts Markland Wood into approximately 1/3 to the south and 2/3 to the north.

The Markland Wood community is represented and supported by the Markland Homes Association which is one of the strongest Ratepayer’s Associations in Toronto. The MHA, founded in 1962, holds an impressive record of continually publishing the longest running community newspaper, The Marklander. The MHA sponsors many events throughout the year, with the Annual Christmas Caravan & Food Drive being the flagship event. Other annual events held in Markland Wood are; Easter Egg Hunt held on Easter Monday, Environmental Day Clean Up held in April, Community Garage Sale held in May, Champagne Social held in September, and during election time, Candidates Debate/Meetings.
