It's Wednesday. Have you checked out the Farmer's Market at Nathan Phillips (aka City Hall)? They have a wide selection of fresh organic choices from veggies to fruits to even cakes and pastries. I like the idea of a Farmer's Market because it gets the people out and provide a place for local growers to showcase their produce. This concept therefore is World Class BUT the choices can sometimes be a bit thin so I would rate that as Need to Upgrade Something. World Class Farmer's Markets have clean surroundings (indoors or out) and presentation standards are impeccable. Here at Nathan Philips? Not yet there. World Class Farmer's Markets have clear signage and clear solution to a potentially conjested traffic. Here at Nathan Philips? Not yet there. World Class Farmer's Markets have a multitude of choices not just a few selections of fruits and veggies. Here at Nathan Phillips? Not yet there.
The idea therefore is great and I support that and an indicator of a world class-to be but there has to be more choices, more vendors, clearer structure of traffic and processes in managing people rather than a mish-mash of tents and tables and ultimately more people will come in in droves more than they do now.
