Did you know? Marysville’s Cotton Mill was once the largest textile mill in Canada east of Montreal. Built in the 1880s by Alexander “Boss” Gibson, it employed about 500 people and became the heart of the community, with fabric shipped across Canada and beyond. The mill closed in the 1970s, but in 1985 it was restored and today houses government offices — a wonderful example of history still being part of daily life. Marysville isn’t just a neighbourhood — it’s one of Canada’s last intact 19th-c

Watching Mill One come to life has been nothing short of magical. ⁠ ⁠ Brick by brick, beam by beam, we've created something special at Cotton Works.⁠ ⁠ This isn't just about restoring a building, it's about honouring history while building our future together. Every detail tells a story, and every person who's been part of this journey has left their mark.⁠ ⁠ Our place. All coming together. 💛⁠ ⁠ #CottonWorksHomegrown | Cotton Works
