HSCA Community Food Program Bulletin
Hillhurst Sunnyside is the home of several initiatives that seek greater food security, sovereignty and justice, such as the summer and winter Farmers’ Markets. With this has come mounting enthusiasm and support to develop a food security program and establish Hillhurst Sunnyside as a thriving community food hub. With the information collected from the community, we adopted our current food strategy outlined in our HSCA Community Food Program Bulletin
Our Market is a Slow Food ZoneThe 2012-13 Winter Farmers’ Market is held on the first Wednesday of each month, 4-7pm Nov – May (excluding January). Our outdoor market is held every Wednesday from 3 – 7 pm, May 30 through October 3, 2012.
Envision a thriving hub of community activity anchored on the exchange of high quality local natural food and goods, enriching the inner city and supporting the local economy – welcome to the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market! Come for the goods, stay for the fun. Live music and special guests have make the market a place to stay and enjoy. Children especially enjoy their helium balloons, visit to the bouncy castle, or chat with a visiting clown or face painter. Special market events including salsa competitions, the children’s market, or the harvest market, have enriched the market and made it a not-to-be-missed summer Wednesday destination in Calgary.
The Hillhurst Sunnyside Market is an Alberta Approved farmers’ market in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, held outdoors, rain or shine, on Wednesdays from June to October of every year. The Market is located at The Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Centre, 1320 5 Avenue NW , Calgary, AB T2N 0S2
