During this difficult and painful time, we at the New West Farmers Market want to reach out to the community.
A Message From Our Board Re: COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the New West Farmers Market will be operating in a limited capacity to ensure safe access to local food sources in our community.
Now more than ever we are relying on local food supply for food security to work in tandem with larger grocery stores and serve the public need.
The Provincial Government has listed farmers’ markets as an essential service under their List of COVID-19 Essential Services.
We have full support and backing from the BC Centre for Disease Control, Fraser Health and the City of New Westminster to proceed with the Farmers Market, albeit in a much more regulated setting.
We are working closely with Fraser Health to ensure a safe market environment. Some of the guidelines include:
- Fencing to allow entrance from one side only
- Carefully managed entrance and exit to limit number of shoppers
- Limited to food and beverage vendors only
- No sampling, musicians, demonstrations or craft tables
- Hand washing stations will be provided
- Cashless transactions only
We want to keep people in our community safe while also providing them access to local food during this difficult time.

What to expect at our AGM this year:
Reports on Our 2019 Year: You will hear reports from two people: Lily, our Market Manager on some of the highlights of the market this year, and Carly, our outgoing President, on some of the work we completed in 2019, and some of our plans currently underway.
Elect or Acclaim a Revised Board: Some of the most basic business of an AGM is to elect a new board. We do not take nominations from the floor, and haven’t for a few years. We are losing two of our directors this year due to some personal life events and hope to have a few new faces willing to step forward.The New West Farmers Market Board can accept up to seven elected board members. Email board@newwestfarmers.ca to submit your intent and interest in joining as a board member. Nominations close on Sunday, February 2nd.
After the business portion there will be treats and socializing.
The excitement is growing. It’s going to be a good one. We hope you can join us on February 9th.
