Non-resident vendors and resident vendors without public facing properties are encouraged to sell from the public lands around the Stanley Avenue bend to create a cluster of activity, in cooperation with the Beechwood Market’s vendors. Please note that market vendors have a permit for the use of the triangular east lawn bounded by the Fieldhouse, the asphalt multi-use path and the riverside pedestrian path. All vendors must respect any applicable bylaws and are wholly liable for any infractions.
The Crichton Community Council (CCC) gratefully collects donations to support neighbourhood events and for the purchase of equipment.
