A true community Association, various programs for children, seniors and families. They have a great selection of vendors for their Farmers Market. It gets even better. The summer. This place makes you feel like a community, it’s welcoming, the staff care, and it’s nice to meet the people that come out to the markets

Monday fresh routes, game changing affordable produce ! Wednesday farmers market always fun and delicious produce and goodies to be had. The community garden is a great place to hangout too.

Prices are about 20% more than what you can find online, when I went there about 50% of the booths didn’t have anyone and you couldn’t buy any of their items. The indoors area smelled heavily of cigarettes. Don’t bother coming here, a waste of time.

Great fun place to meet people

The Flee Market the community centre holds on Sundays can be a mixed bag. At times I've found some really great items from some fun vendors, while other times it has been just one giant, disappointing, garage sale. As a music venue, the main hall is pretty good as well. Intimate and with decent acoustics.
