"After seeing the news story on CJOH News last night about our neighbourhood and how it is becoming the New Westboro, I thought I would drop you a line to let you know how delighted my partner and I are with the open air farmer’s market that the Vanier BIA operates every Saturday morning. We haven’t missed a Saturday yet, and look forward to going again this Saturday (the iced cinnamon rolls from Maison Baguette are to die for and love the beef from Knock Out Farms-very tasty indeed)."
