The Friends of Sorauren Park presented the results of its Wabash Community Centre survey and consultation process June 4 at FOSP’s first-ever webinar.
More than 100 people registered for the event which was also attended by Councillor Gord Perks and City staff.
FOSP chair Joël Campbell and directors Stephen Dorsey and Donna MacMullin walked participants through the survey results. (View the full presentation deck.) Almost 1,200 community members responded to the survey.
After many months of closure due to the pandemic, the Sorauren Farmers Market got the green light and will reopen in Sorauren Park at the usual time, 3-7 pm on Mondays on the Town Square.
COVID-19 means farmers’ markets will look and feel a little different with special physical distancing and hygiene protocols. You might not be able to see the smile on your favourite vendor’s face because of their mask, but please know they have missed you and are very happy to see you!
To comply with Public Health recommendations please note the following: ● Shop quickly, ideally one person per household ● If you are unwell, stay home ● Wear a mask ● Maintain a safe distance from others, be patient and kind – this is challenging for everyone ● Please pre-order with vendors online – this way you can visit the pre-order pick-up window for a speedy visit ● Follow the one-way direction of the Market ● Please do not touch the food – your vendor will pack for you ● No eating in the Market area – take your food and eat at home or in the park.
