TOWN OF NEWMARKET LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge that the Town of Newmarket is located on the traditional territories of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe peoples and the treaty land of the Williams Treaties First Nations and other Indigenous peoples whose presence here continues to this day. We thank them for sharing this land with us. We also acknowledge the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation as our close neighbours and friends, and we work to ensure a cooperative and respectful relationship.

Indigenous musical storyteller, Lacey Hill performs in the Walnut Grove of the future Mulock Park. Her sound sets the stage for a monumental partnership announcement - the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is coming to Newmarket to exhibit pieces from its Indigenous and Canadian collections in the historic Mulock House. The Park is expected to open in 2025.
