The Market also features local artisans including, Métis art, jewelry, pottery and photography. Natural soaps, candles and more are all value added products that you’ll find at your local market. Every week you can plan to enjoy a late lunch or dinner in the market café area. Children will love the weekly face painting, and everyone can relax with the sounds of local musicians.

St. Nicholas is committed to the idea that a parish is part of the fabric of its local community, and can be a presence for building up the well-being and common good of all. Sometimes this means parish facilities (and website) are engaged to support person- /community-oriented initiatives not necessarily perceived to be 'religious' in the strict sense of the term.
