Newmarket, Ontario

Come live in a place where the shopping is great, the people are friendly, and there's plenty to do.

This Toronto suburb is far from ordinary. The 65,788 people who live here have maintained Newmarket's unique community by cherishing its 200 years of history. Drop by Main Street and you'll see an island of 19th-century buildings framing a delightful downtown core. A heritage jewel for the people of Newmarket, this decorated avenue harks back to a simpler time. You can learn all about the cherished history of this town at the Elman W. Campbell Museum.

Right next to the picturesque shop fronts and beautiful flower barrels, you'll find Fairy Lake Park, a conservation area and popular gathering place for the community. On Father's Day weekend, be sure to stop by the Artisans' Festival. Woodworkers, tinsmiths, and weavers are but a few of the craftspeople, who will be presenting their works for this fun charity event. The First of July brings Kanata Day (yes, "Kanata", not "Canada") to Fairy Lake, and, with it, music, dancing, food, and fun shows and races. When you're not carousing in the park, spend some time in Upper Canada Mall, which boasts 250 stores.

Less than an hour's drive from downtown Toronto, Newmarket is a popular place to live for those who commute to the big city for work. You can experience all the excitement of the busy downtown, including NHL games, musicals, and a vigorous nightlife without having to sacrifice the community atmosphere offered by Newmarket.
