Made-in-Newmarket Definition of Culture
With a clear understanding of how culture is generally experienced and equally clear goals about how culture should function in Newmarket, the following definition of culture was developed, discussed and adopted:
Culture is a shared asset of all those who live, visit, or invest in Newmarket. The culture of Newmarket is rooted in the collective experience of the community and it includes respect for the past, engagement in the present and a commitment to a common future.
