Please view the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville’s Statistics Canada Community Profile for a more detailed look at the community. 

Geography 

The Geography of Whitchurch-Stouffville is diverse, from urban areas and forests, to industry and farms.

Not many places in the GTA are quite like it – being so connected yet shrouded in a veil of rurality.

The Corridors

“The Corridors” area of Whitchurch- Stouffville includes Highway 404, Woodbine Avenue and Stouffville Rd.

It borders Newmarket, Aurora, and Richmond Hill along the west, the Community of Stouffville to the east and Markham to the south. These lands offer quick connectivity to Hwy. 404, and therefore, excellent access to regional and international markets. 

Approximately 33% of all of Whitchurch-Stouffville’s businesses and employment reside in this area, including some of the Town’s largest employers.

The Whitchurch Forest

“The Whitchurch Forest” extends across the top half of Whitchurch-Stouffville. It is characterized by sandy soils, rolling hills, and blankets of trees. Here you will find many hiking opportunities and Outdoor Experiences in the York Region Forests (YRF) and Conservation Areas (CA).

The Ballantrae Community Centre and Coultice Park are a couple of Town operated Community Sites. Too, there are many Tourist Sites, including pick-your-own farms and farm stands, summer camps, resorts and art galleries.

Finally, there are many Horse Farms, stables, Christmas Tree Farms and one Golf Course. 

Fun Food & Farms

“Fun, Food & Farms” is an area of Whitchurch-Stouffville that straddles the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and embraces the moraine slope. It represents our best farm land.

Here you will find Tourist Attractions such as wineries, stocked fishing ponds, mini-putting, treetop trekking, model aviation clubs (2), pick-your-own farms, Christmas tree farms and vegetable stands.

There are 14 Golf Courses, including some of the oldest (Meadowcreek & Sleepy Hollow), the largest (Spring Lakes), and the most exclusive (St. Andrews East).

Many horse stables and riding schools can be found throughout the area. 

Stouffville

Stouffville is the largest population centre in Whitchurch-Stouffville, and thus contains the bulk of Community Services & Centres.

The community is well linked to Toronto, with two GO Train Stations and GO Bus Service. York Region Transit primarily connects the Town to the Markham-Stouffville Hospital along the Ninth Line corridor.

Stouffville is qualified by many as a safe, quaint, rural centre, and therefore is an attraction to empty nesters and new families alike. Development over the last decade has heavily emphasized the building of single family homes along winding streets in new neighbourhoods.

New development, especially along West Main Street (Stouffville Rd), is providing for rapid intensification, a diversity of services and new retail. Employment and business growth is consistently 3-5% a year.
