Celebrating gratitude across generations 🍂🍁

While Canadians have marked Thanksgiving nationally since 1872, the second Monday of October became our official annual tradition in 1957.

As we look back on the history of our community, we are reminded of how timeless these crisp autumn days truly are. Whether you're gathering around a family feast, strolling through the fall colors, or enjoying a local fair, we wish you a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving weekend!

What local autumn traditions or family memories are you most grateful for this season?

🍂 Don’t Miss Our October Member Meeting!
“Stories of an MP in Interesting Times”
Join us for an engaging evening with Tony Van Bynen, former Mayor of Newmarket and former Liberal Member of Parliament, as he shares stories and reflections from his years in public service and his time representing Canada’s Liberal Party in Ottawa.

Born in the Netherlands in 1950 and raised in Ontario, Tony entered municipal politics in 2000 and served as Mayor of Newmarket from 2006 to 2018. A strong advocate for his community, he co-founded Belinda’s Place and was recognized with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to public service.

Come hear the stories behind the headlines and gain a firsthand perspective on politics, public service, and some very interesting times.

📍 Change in Location for this meeting only: Council Chambers, Newmarket Municipal Offices
395 Mulock Drive, Newmarket

We hope you’ll join us for this special evening!
