Ma Murray Day

Celebrating our Founding Families

Let’s gather together and celebrate Ma Murray Day with fun for the whole family.

Ma Murray Day takes place every year in September to honour Margaret “Ma” Murray – a Canadian newspaper editor, publisher and columnist who became a legend in Canadian journalism. Ma Murray settled in what is now Anmore, with a homestead in the area form 1917 to 1934. Anmore celebrates her role in our history by bringing the community together each year to enjoy refreshments and participate in activities for all ages. View the 2024 Ma Murray Day flyer.
