The area around the Fieldhouse will be a busy sales centre since the weekly market coincides with the neighbourhood sale. The Fieldhouse washrooms and water fountain will be open for everyone’s convenience.
Neighbourhood sale vendors are encouraged to sell from private lands in front of their own homes. Unlike past years, the CCC will not be renting vendor spaces on the lawn of the New Edinburgh Park Fieldhouse to enable those without public facing properties to participate.
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. Donations of 10 per cent of sale profits earned by neighbourhood vendors is suggested. Financial contributions can be made by depositing a cheque in the mailbox near the front door of the Fieldhouse, or online using this link: https://square.link/u/I1bTGw6g
