Help us shape the future of Downtown Newmarket

The Building Canada Fund grant has given the Town the rare opportunity to transform a large downtown urban space into one that would be enjoyed by the whole community. It is the Town's vision that the new urban park would become a community landmark, linking Newmarket's trail system and the downtown core.

Working collaboratively with community members and stakeholders, the Town of Newmarket was able to create an innovative design concept for this new downtown urban space. In this current phase of CUSP, we need your help in submitting an iconic name for this new community downtown urban space.
