Live Local Food Market At Dundas/Bathurst

This isn't quite in our area, but it's close and it's a kick-ass idea! The city managed to make a thorough boondoggle of expanded street food vending, but a new food market at Bathurst and Dundas is a needed step in the right direction. And the stalls are made from recycled shipping containers! And the rents are low, so the prices are cheap! And the list of "ands" goes on and on! So just read the article.

Cheers,

Garage & Bake Sale To Benefit The Children's Storefront

Okay... unfortunately, I was given wrong information and there's no rummage drop off at St. Alban's this week and my original post, which is below, is correct.
But it's not too late! You can bring rummage directly to the sale site on the day of the sale (Saturday, Dec. 19th) beginning at 9 am.
Sorry for all of the confusion.

Mark December 19th on your calendar: from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm there will be a massive garage and bake sale at Scadding Court Community Centre with proceeds benefitting The Children's Storefront.
Spread the word and if you want to donate items to sell, here's the scoop:
"If you have baked goodies to donate, just bring them down. We are collecting used toys and books for the sale in early December, Tuesday through Thursday, at our temporary location, the St Albans Boys and Girls Club, on Palmerston Avenue, one block south of Dupont.
So from Dec 1-3 and 8-10, you can leave things off at St. Albans, from 9 am until 2 pm."
Get rooting through those toy boxes and closets!
Cheers,
Vanessa
