About Innisfil, Ontario
In Innisfil, you’ll find all the advantages of big city living, without any of the compromises. Here you’ll find a powerful economic and technological infrastructure, set against the natural backdrop of Lake Simcoe. Innisfil is a town that acts like a startup. The modern town came together after an amalgamation of multiple smaller towns, each with unique features: farms, antique shops, Lake Simcoe, and the old town of Innisfil, which featured a commercial downtown core.
Amalgamation and expansion brought the opportunity to leverage our small-town culture and history with new economies of scale and our close proximity to Toronto. The result is a modern alternative to traditional suburbs.

Things to do in Innisfil
Sunset International Speedway
Sunset International Speedway with its geographic location being forty minutes from Toronto, the closest motorsports facility to race fans everywhere. Since it’s birth in 1968, Sunset Speedway has produced some of Canada’s top stock car racers. New ownership purchased Sunset Speedway in May 2009. Significant funds to upgrade the facility were invested, and at season end in 2009, the existing track asphalt was ground out, walls were removed and the track has been resurfaced and is now a 1/3 mile high banked oval – a track we consider to be the best in the Country.
400 Market
The 400 Market was started in 1986 as a flea and farmers market. Since the 400 Market has opened, successfully, it has increased in size with three expansions, to its present-day size of 105,000 sq. ft. Even the vendors became more sophisticated with their merchandise. However, the flair of the old flea market still exits.
A real ambience has evolved over the years. For some people, it is the place to bring visitors from out-of-town, or their friends. For others, it’s a family tradition to get to spend time in an environment that is fun for everyone. The 400 Market is where you can find everything from diamonds to doughnuts, the diversity of products is second to none. Some products are new to North America and not found anywhere else!
