The Regional Municipality of York is a large region, extending 1,776 square kilometers from Toronto’s northern-most boundary up to the shores of Lake Simcoe. Commonly referred to as York Region, the area is rich in history, environmentally significant green space and cultural events. During the early 1800’s, York Region played a significant role in the expansion of settlement in Upper Canada. Many settlers made their way up one important trail, now known as Yonge Street. They boarded steamboats at Holland Landing travelling on Lake Simcoe, or slowly made their way by ox cart to a new life. Fast forward 200 years and York Region continues to grow, attract new residents and offer fresh opportunity; in fact it is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities, with a population of 1.1 million that is anticipated to increase to 1.5 million by the year 2031. Now, we enjoy the legacy of those early days which left us with the quaint Victorian architecture and historically significant landmarks such as the Sharon Temple, that make York Region an interesting place to explore. Learn more with a visit to one of many museums like the Elman W. Campbell museum in Newmarket, the Whitchurch-Stouffville museum or the Georgina Pioneer Village, to name just a few. Get more information about York Region’s museums at YorkScene.com. Arts, entertainment and culture happen here . As the population of York Region grew, so did its cultural sensibility. York Region is home to many artists, artisans and 4 | EXPLORE YORK musicians who enrich life in the Region.

You can hike or bike hundreds of kilometres of trails. Golfer’s will be happy to know that York Region is home to more than 70 golf and country clubs including two Doug Carrick designed championship courses – Eagles Nest and Copper Creek.
