The redevelopment was suppose to increase the parking space and the interior space that used by the community. Hopefully, it will bring many more tourist or Canadians' attentions. The major reason the project was stopped because the price had risen. The price for redeveloping the St.Lawrence Market raised from 75 million to 92 million. The government had doubts to give more funds for the project. Fortunately, the council approved the project and then another challenge came up. When some Torontonians thought that it had been like that for more than 40 years, it unnecessary to change it and it is a waste of money. And it's true that this project uses a large amount of money and it will need quite a bit of time until Toronto will actually make money out of it. In fact, we still can't predict the amount the tourist that will attract after spending 92 million on redevelopment. It's will becoming a challenge if it can't attract enough tourist and success make St.Lawrence Market the City Landmark and Tourist
St. Andrews is a small coastal town in New Brunswick, situated at the end of a peninsula jutting out into the magnificent Bay of Fundy. The Town is conveniently located 30 km from St. Stephen and the Maine border, 100 km from Saint John and 120 km from Fredericton. The Town was founded in 1783, by Loyalists escaping persecution south of the border, on government land grants provided by Governor Parr. St. Andrews grew and flourished for much of the next century and was an important harbour with a healthy shipbuilding industry. At the turn of the last century the Town still prospered. Ship building was a dying industry, but with the building of the Algonquin Hotel in 1889, the Town became an important summer resort town for the “rich”, especially after the CPR took it over at the turn of the century.
The Bloor Street Viaduct acts as a catalyst in Michael Ondaatje’s revision of Toronto’s civic history to weave together the stories of those responsible for building the city, rather the “functionaries and their visions” who ordered the city built. (Gamlin 68) “One of the principal objectives-and successes- of the novel is to ‘betray official history’ and reveal, however faintly, the presence of the human element in such Toronto landmarks as the Bloor Street Viaduct.” (Sarris 188)
Toronto, Canada's largest city, occupies the site of an old French trading post, Fort Rouillé founded in the 1790s.

Chartered as a city in 1834, its name was then changed to Toronto. Toronto served as the country's capital from 1849 to 1851, and from 1855 to 1859.
“There’s no better place to buy fruits and vegetables than at a farmers’ market. Period,” according to Mark Bittman (2014, p.1). This quote from the article “Farmers’ Market Values”, by Mark Bittman, is a strong statement that shows how he truly feels about farmers’ markets. The author is clearly stating that when a buyer wants produce that is fresh, delicious, and just plain good to eat, they need to go to a market. Throughout the article, he reiterates many times the importance of farmers’ markets.

He chose the location of the abandoned village of Stadacona to create the new settlement, since it was an advantageous location for trade, had fertile grounds, and could be easily defended from attacks. Champlain called it “Québec”, from the Algonquian word Kébec meaning, “where the river narrows”. This established a base for French colonial power and culture in North America, where the French were able to control the fur trade much more easily.
Farmer markets have always been around and a strong reason to believe that they will still be around long after our time. There are several reasons why this age old tradition still exitst today and revolves around a very common question, “What does a buyer find important when they are about to buy food to be consumed, or how the produce is grown/manufactured, processed, marketed, and distributed. Supporting farmer markets and ensuring fair trade among the dealer and the seller can help promote healthier lives while building stronger communities. There are several reasons to support a community’s farmer market event because buying true locally grown food can allows the buyer to have options to food that is picked fresh and tastes better than what is sold in the supermarkets. Another benefit to farmers markets is that the food is sustainable, flavorful, supports local farms, and also in some areas, part of the proceeds goes to the unfortunate within that community. With the addition of the food generally being more flavorful, locally grown food is adapted to the climate in which it was grown, and can remain fresh longer than that of an imported produce grown in a different climate.

A sign at the entrance to the market announced their arrival at the Redwood Country Flea Market. The market was once a smalltime operation only open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It was a place for people to empty out their garages and sheds, and sell off junk and extra stuff without having to organize garage or tag sales.

It is the perfect hang out spot between March and December while it is open. Last summer I would attend with my brothers almost every weekend. We would enjoy the hundreds of fascinating people walking around and watch break dancers spinning on their heads, the many arts and crafts inspired by local businesses, and smell of the sweet cinnamon sugar that comes on an elephant ear..
