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 from 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.
This year’s Ma Murray Day is on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 12 to 4 p.m. at Dr. Hal Weinberg Spirit Park.
This free, family-friendly event brings the community together for an afternoon of live entertainment, local vendors, family activities, great food and more. Whether you’re visiting the Market Fair, enjoying live performances or taking part in the activities, there’s something for everyone.
