A BIG Neighbour Media shout-out to the over 300 community members, MPP Michael Parsa, MPP Laura Smith, the sponsors and all the staff and volunteers that participated in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer Society of York Region. After three years of virtual walks, members of the community had the opportunity to walk together on May 27th to show their support for those impacted by dementia. This year the walk raised over $100,000 for critical AS York programs and services, which are delivered to families who turn to the society for support.

Letter from MAYOR TAYLOR

Exciting Summer Ahead in Downtown Newmarket

I’m excited to take in all that Newmarket’s downtown has to offer this Summer, including the Farmers' Market, TD Music Series, the festivals, and the patios. The area was bustling during the Pride and Artisans’ Festivals. Those crowds are certain to return for Canada Day.

With several new businesses enjoying their first summer on Main St., some switching locations, and the first phase of the Postmark Hotel opening soon, downtown will be more vibrant than ever in the coming months. And with a new restaurant taking over the old Cachet location later this year, along with parking being added once the new tennis centre opens, our downtown is poised to continue being a go-to location for Newmarket and York Region.

Main St. is amazing because of the sustained, consistent, and deliberate efforts of everyone involved in the downtown to make it great. By constantly striving to balance the diverse needs of all businesses and customers we have created a place that is defining what our community is all about and where more and more people want to be.

If you haven’t been to Main St., now is the time to check it out. I’ll see you there this Summer.
