Saturday is the final day for this season’s Sechelt Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market on Cowrie Street. The market opened in late April with the number of vendors limited to about two-thirds of full capacity, to allow greater physical spacing between the booths. As some vendors chose not to participate this year, no sellers were denied market space even with the reduction in the number of booths. New this year was the option to order products online through the market’s website. Market Association president John Byrnes is hopeful the online shopping portion of the site can be continued. With the cancellation of indoor craft markets for the upcoming festive season due to COVID-19, many crafters will not have the in-person sales opportunities that they rely on to market their wares.
