Farmers' Wellness Market Survey
Consultation has concluded
The Farmers’ Wellness Market located at the VG site of the QEII, now managed by Nutrition and Food Services, will be returning June 8, 2018. We know this will be welcome news for staff and community members who have come to frequent the market over the years.
Nutrition and Food Services has been working closely with vendors to prepare for the market’s return and are excited to bring back this Friday favourite.
Vendors have provided feedback that shoppers are eager to shop earlier in the morning and traffic drops off after 1 p.m. With that in mind, the market’s NEW hours will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market will be outdoors during the summer months, except when the weather is particularly messy, when it will move indoors to the Scotia Room restaurant, Centennial Building, VG site, QEII.
The Farmers’ Wellness Market aligns well with NSHA’s newly launched Healthy Eating Policy, and Nutrition and Food Services’ mandate to support greater access to healthy, locally sourced food. Over the next three years, we will gradually move toward offering a greater percentage of healthy foods at the Farmers’ Market.
