Sidney market cancelled

The Sidney Street Market has been cancelled for this year, after organizers were advised to cancel or postpone summer events.

The night street market typically saw between 3,000 to 5,000 visitors every Thursday night, June through August, according to the town.

Farmers markets are considered an essential service under B.C.’s state of emergency and many are still operating. Those that are open must have physical distancing protocols and enhanced hygiene practices in place, and only food items can be sold.
