The Community Harvest Market is hosting a Tomato Tasting and Corn Roast on Sunday August 16th, from 10am-2pm at the Wally Elmer Neighbourhood Centre located at 50 MacCauley (off Weller Avenue on Daly Street).

Join us for fresh local produce, baking, jewellery, music, children’s activities and more!

Regular market runs every Sunday, same place, same time, until October 25th. Don’t miss it.

Grow a Row encourages home gardeners, community gardeners, and farmers to plant an extra row of produce and donate their harvest to local emergency food providers including food banks, shelters, and emergency meal programs. Grow a Row builds on the tradition of gardeners sharing their bounty with neighbors and friends.

Oak Street Garden will now have an area to drop off Grow a Row donations. The donation boxes will be out from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM Tuesday July 28th and hopefully will continue to collect following Tuesdays. So – if you have any lettuce, beans, peas, onions – whatever! please feel free to drop them off at the garden during this time and we will be more than happy to take them off your hands!
