Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market

Starting July 27, the Wellness Institute is hosting a Tuesday farmer's market.

Stop by between 10am and 4pm for a selection of fresh picks from local producers. The market is open to everyone, from members to our community neighbours.

Choosing the season's best is not only a healthy choice, but a green one as well since local fruits and vegetables don't have to be shipped over long distances after being picked.

The market is held at the front entrance at 1075 Leila Avenue.

Starting July 5
