Thank you to everyone who helped make 2009 a great market year in our new Juan de Fuca Rec Centre location.

Over 6,000 people visited our GO LOCAL food, craft and green living destination over the 2009 season. We brought community together in a beautiful spot, shared songs, smiles, friendly conversation and the flavourful enjoyment of delicious locally grown foods.

We learned a lot in the market's first year at JDF, and our team is looking forward to working together with you to make next year's market even bigger and better in celebration of Colwood's Silver Jubilee in 2010.
