• Mrs. Darling’s crafts: This will be the last week for crafts with Mrs. Darling before she moves her magic indoors with her art classes at Artisans-at-Work. Come craft and say good-bye for the season, starting at 4:30 p.m.
• City of Toronto – Planning in Public Spaces: City Planners are doing some planning in public spaces this year and will be at the market to hear from you. Bring your ideas and questions about growth and development in our community to their tent this week.
