A little update from us! 🛍️💚 We’re so grateful to everyone who has donated reusable bags to the Market over the years. Going forward, we’re no longer able to accept reusable bag donations.

Something BIG is taking shape at the Moss Park Market 👀✨ Our market container is getting a whole new look, with @p.omelo working their magic and bringing some serious colour to the space. We’re only giving you a little peek for now… stay tuned. A huge thank you to @stepspublicart for helping make this happen.

We wrapped up our final day of this Community Lead

We wrapped up our final day of this Community Leaders cohort with one last session exploring our **Land as Leadership** theme. 🌿 Facilitator Nicole Klenk led us through a hands-on day of learning about natural dyes, fabrics, and printmaking. Nicole is a professor of Environmental Sciences, as well as a textile artist and researcher, and gratefully shared her knowledge and practice with the participants. A creative and thoughtful way to close out this chapter of the Community Leaders Program. 💚 @themeshworks

Our volunteers were especially happy to pick it fresh from the garden and share it with community members.
