It’s a new year and a new lineup of speakers for “Ideas Powered by Passion” For those of you who haven’t yet made it out to our event, “Ideas Powered by Passion” is about encouraging new thinking through speech and music. This series is meant to uncover the passions of our people, listen to them share their stories, and allow them to inspire one another. The next event will be held on 20 Jan from 7-9pm at The Loft – 3rd floor, Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design, Charlotte St. Sydney
He’s a local ER doctor, community activist, environmentalist, tri-athlete, and former political candidate. But, who is Chris Milburn? What inspires him to continually give back to our community? Come hear all about Chris’s passion to create more livable communities and what is behind all that zeal!
During the evening we will also hear from Andrée Crepeau of Velo Cape Breton about what’s going on at Velo. Local recording artist Carleton Stone will also be on hand to showcase his musical talent.

 The Cape Breton Farmer's Market is very sorry to share with you the news of the sudden passing of Mountain Meadow Farm's Jeremy Frith.
Jeremy was born June 3, 1945, on another beautiful island, Bermuda. He travelled the world looking for the location of his dream farm, which he established on Cape Breton's North Shore.
Jeremy was a passionate organic farmer, poet , storyteller, singer, actor and Elder of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Jeremy is survived by his wife, our fellow marketeer, Sue, his children Josiah, Alec, and stepdaughter Laura.
At the market Jeremy will always be fondly remembered for his charm, wit, and keen perception; his delicous produce, and the twinkle in his eye.

The award alternates year to year recognizing groups and individuals. The 2008 award recognized a group fitting the criteria and four nominations were submitted, all of which were farmer's markets.
The award was presented by Paul LaFleche, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Willy Versteeg, President of the Federation, to Charles and Sharon MacDonald, who received the award on behalf of the market. |
