help keep the east van farmers market @ trout lake

the east van farmers market needs your support! it must relocate from its home of 13 years (the main trout lake community centre parking lot) due to the planned tear down & rebuilding of the community centre. the proposed move to the north parking lot is being meet with mixed reviews. if you love local farmers, producers & artisans, please take a moment to sign the online petition. there is a public meeting at the parks board on april 8th.
