Northern York Region Pegged for Significant Growth, Despite Restrictions

It will be a bit of a balancing act, but northern York Region’s population should grow substantially in the coming decades.

That’s the message from York Region chief planner Valerie Shuttleworth, who is projecting a large increase in population and employment numbers by 2041. She made a deputation on the anticipated growth to Newmarket council members last week.

According to Shuttleworth, the region’s population is expected to jump from 1.14 million in 2014 to 1.79 million by 2041. Newmarket and Aurora will also see increases, though a more significant climb in numbers will occur in East Gwillimbury, which could actually equal or surpass those municipalities in population in the coming decades.
