The Town of Stouffville is excited to announce plans to expand Civic Square. As part of this initiative, we have incorporated the newly acquired property at 6343 Main Street, adjacent to the current square. This addition adds 400 m² (4,316 sq. ft) of space, significantly enlarging and enhancing this vital public area.

We are dedicated to transforming Civic Square into a dynamic, engaging, and accessible hub for our community in the downtown district. To achieve this vision, we need your input. The town invites all residents to participate in shaping the future of Civic Square by providing feedback on the draft design. Your insights are invaluable in helping us realize a space that embodies the community’s needs and aspirations.

Design Objectives

The expansion of Civic Square focuses on several key objectives:

Creating a Welcoming Environment: We aim to develop a space that is not only accessible but also vibrant, safe, and comfortable for everyone.

Celebrating Our Heritage: The design will respect and integrate the town’s cultural history, ensuring our past is honoured.

Fostering Community Identity: By integrating arts, culture, festivals, and events, the expanded square will be a cornerstone for community engagement.

Enhancing Connectivity: Improving walkability and adding amenities will make the square a more connected and pedestrian-friendly environment.


Public Workshop

The Public Workshop took place on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 19 on the Park, 19 Civic Avenue.

A drawing was presented at this meeting, which you can now view online. Thank you to all who participated in the workshop. For those who could not attend, there will be additional opportunities to give feedback and participate shortly.

Expanding our urban parkland is a pivotal development as Stouffville continues to grow amidst increasing urban activity. This is a unique opportunity for you to directly impact the transformation of our downtown core. We look forward to your participation and input, helping us to craft a space that truly reflects the spirit of our community.
