 Partners for Care Farmers’ Market at the QEII
Fridays 10am-2pm
on the “Terrace” and lawn area of the VG,
in front of the Centennial Building. Map 12 June to 9 October 2009, rain or shine. The Capital District Health Authority and Farmers’ Markets of Nova Scotia
celebrated a new partnership with the opening of
the first outdoor Farmers’ Market on a hospital site in Nova Scotia,
located at the Victoria General Site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre in peninsular Halifax.
One goal of this market is educating. The producers are very proud and knowledgeable about their product and love to share the benefits. The Capital Health community can learn “How to eat healthier, one Friday at a time.”
The market will allow Capital Health staff, visitors and the surrounding community an opportunity to buy fresh and healthy produce, meat, fish and many other items on site, while supporting local vendors/producers.
Farmers’ Markets of Nova Scotia is a strong supporter of this market and has been very helpful in assisting Partners for Care to locate and book the producers. The producers are also available at other markets throughout the province on other days. We hope that this market will encourage Capital Health staff and visitors to visit the markets in their home area.
A food donation box will be available onsite each week for donations to Feed Nova Scotia Partners for Care is a charitable organization dedicated to generating revenue through business initiatives to benefit patients of Capital Health. Partners for Care is proud to do its' part in supporting Capital Health’s commitment to creating “Healthier Communities”.
