The Future of the North Market Building
Preliminary discussions are underway between the City, the SLNA and other interested parties about the possibilities for making better use of the North Market site. The City has set up an Initiative Room on the west side of the North Market, showing the North Market as it was, is and might have been. The room is currently staffed part-time, but you can look in the windows other times. More information when it's available.

Toronto Dollar Party
Last year's celebration of our very own local currency was a blast. Not to mention, a really good food experience. Don't miss out when the St. Lawrence Market merchants lay out their best wares and community groups put on displays and performances for your edification and enjoyment. This is one party you don't want to miss.
