Many of us walk through it every day, but how often do we actually appreciate the City Market?
The Canadian Institue of Planners has awarded the historical commerical space the status of one being of Canada’s Great Public Spaces.
Urban Planner Andrea Bourrie says the market has a lot of different functions from a social hub to a thriving venue for local artisans and foodies.
There’s a new plaque commemorating the award at the head of the market just down from Billy’s.
The Market competed against 68 other contestants for the distinction.
