A weekly seasonal market that was proposed to Comox council at the end of March for the downtown core this summer will not be going forward this year.

A weekly seasonal market that was proposed to Comox council at the end of March for the downtown core this summer will not be going forward this year.

Cleo Tetrault and Holly Brotherston of Love Local Food Co. presented the idea of a market to create an opportunity for growers, small businesses and artisans to have a central location to grow their business in the town.

The pair told council they partnered with the Comox Business in Action and secured a space in the Comox Mall parking lot that would be closed to traffic, and were hoping to host every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m.

In a release, Local Love Food Co. said due to bus route logistics and upcoming construction projects, the town and the organization could not find a suitable location for the evening market.

They remain hopeful of the prospect to develop an evening season/summer market and provide unique opportunities to bring growers, producers, small businesses and artisans together.
