This Weeks Market!

This Week's Event

Heritage Dish Cook-Off! In honour of Canada 150 our vendors want to showcase their diversity while doing some good for the community with a friendly cook-off! Help our vendors raise money for the West Carleton Food Access Centre by sampling and purchasing a bowl of your favourite heritage dish. For $5 you’ll be able to get a bowl of your favourite heritage dish and donations of $15 will receive a handmade pottery bowl along with their favourite dish!

Thank you to everyone who entered pumpkin pies in our Margaret Hobbs Memorial Pie Contest last weekend and a big congratulation to our winner Tracy! Also notable mention to our two customer guest judges! We look forward to running this pie contest for years to come.
