Market staff have been working closely with public health officials to create protocols to help make our markets the safest source of fresh, local food possible while we strive to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Ottawa.

• Limiting customer numbers within the market at any given time.

• Spaces between vendor’s booths.
• Hand sanitizer throughout the market.

• Sanitizing surfaces and tables frequently.
• No sampling of products.
• All food is take-out only. Please, no eating within the market.
• No seating areas.
• No pets, only service animals.
• No musicians or buskers.
