Economic Development

Whitchurch-Stouffville’s slogan is “Country Close to the City,” and that exactly describes this place. It is a mere 14 kilometers from the northern border of Canada’s largest city - Downtown Toronto can be seen from windows as far north as Bloomington Road.

The community is immediately bordered by municipalities, such as Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora and Newmarket, that contain a population of 715,000 people.

Yet, the landscape of Whitchurch-Stouffville is primarily rural in nature. The Town’s 205 square kilometers blanketed in forests and
farms, horse barns and tourist attractions.

Provincial policies and Regional planning have kept growth in Town to a minimum, which in turn rewards the Greater Toronto Area with
clean water to drink and fresh air to breath.

For many, Whitchurch-Stouffville is the playground for corporations and densely packed neighbourhoods - a respite from the congestion
of multi-lane highways and shopping centres.
