Get to Know YOUR NEIGHBOURS

Seanna Murray

What is your most memorable community moment?

I just love the Aurora Chamber Business Excellence Celebration. It is so important to recognize and celebrate all of the good our local businesses do for our community, their innovation, & perseverance. What is your favourite beverage?

Coffee!! They know me by name at the Tim Hortons at Yonge and Cousins Dr. Netflix or a night out?

Netflix!! or a book. I value my time to recharge and chill.

What is one thing that most people don’t know about you?

I'm a bit of a thrill and adventure seeker. I love trying new things. I love rollercoasters, I've been skydiving and done the CN tower Edge Walk.

What is your favourite holiday to celebrate?

Thanksgiving - it's all about being with family and enjoying good food!

What is your go-to local restaurant?

Town of Aurora Sport and Community Development Specialist

It is a tie between Made In Mexico, and Cachet! Delicious food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff!

What are your top 3 favourite movies?

It’s a Wonderful Life (the black and white version), Chicago and anything with Will Ferrell.

What is one thing that most people don’t know about you?

I cannot wink! I have been blessed with many talents, but winking is not one of them!

If you could give advice to your younger self, what would it be?

Don’t stop pushing. Your talents are a gift, and when people try to put out your fire, it is a direct reflection of them - not you.

Where is your favourite place to go in the community?

Anywhere my family is – As a mom of two little girls, we enjoy supporting all local events and initiatives! We love the farmers market, splash pads, outdoor skating rinks, and public library to name a few!

Jennifer Buchanan

How long have you lived in the community?

Manager, Member Services & Engagement - Newmarket Chamber of Commerce

I’ve lived in Newmarket for 49 years! After graduating Journalism school, I came back to Newmarket where I got my first full-time job at the first Radio Station here, CKAN!

What is your favourite food?

It is a full tie between East Indian and West Indian… serve me up a chicken vindaloo or a jerk chicken roti and I’m a very happy person!

Netflix or a night out?

100% Netflix OR better yet, DATELINE! My couch, a candle, and a glass of wine = my happy place!

What is one thing that most people don’t know about you?

I am tongue-tied (as in physically) - it’s a real thing, google it! Doctors decided not to cut it when I was 8, and I don’t think it’s hampered my ability to talk!

What does being a good neighbour mean to you?

Getting to know my community and the needs of it, getting involved where I can, supporting various causes, shopping and eating in my community and most of all being proud of where I live, which I very much am!
