Newmarket EcoLogic homes

Newmarket is the home of Canada's first environmentally-friendly subdivision. Image
In 2008, construction began on 34 EcoLogic homes located on the Stickwood-Walker Farm property.

These homes will achieve and exceed specific environmental targets, including a 50 per cent reduction in household water draws, a 35 per cent reduction in overall discharge flows and a 60 per cent reduction in solid waste, greenhouse gas production and energy consumption compared to conventional homes.

Newmarket was recently awarded a Sustainable Community Award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for this groundbreaking subdivision of LEED Platinum homes.
