After being briefly canceled because of the strike by Toronto city workers, the farmers’ markets at area civic centres are now being re-opened. Thanks to the understanding and support of city councillors and city staff and both CUPE locals involved in the current labour dispute, allowances have been made so that as of Thursday, July 2, Farmers’ Markets at Toronto’s Civic Centres can resume operations.
Many people who try to eat local depend on these markets to provide them with the opportunity to purchase fresh Ontario products. The markets feature fresh Ontario fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, delicious baking and a full array of Ontario specialties at the markets.
Markets:
Metro Hall: Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., resumes July 2
