About Newmarket

The town is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and as such its higher elevation gives it a cooler climate relative to other communities in the Greater Toronto Area. This makes Newmarket an attractive location for those who work or regularly play in downtown Toronto. The southern part of Aurora was once part of Newmarket; however, that land was annexed by the Town of Aurora at a later date. Newmarket's population consists of more than 50 percent females (as compared to 49% for Canada overall), with an average age just under 40 years old (compared to 41 years old nationally). Approximately 60 percent are married; nearly 30 per cent have no religious affiliation and 24 per cent are Catholic.
