November 18th is opening day for the Grinch musical at Canada Life Place: join us in the lounge for a cozy book reading of the Dr. Seuss classic “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” read by the Grinch himself! Indulge in some extra holiday cheer with your kiddos and relive the comforting nostalgia of a holiday classic.

“In Whoville they say that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!”

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the tea lover in your life? Look no further than our very own Tea Haus! Stefanie has created advent calendars with a curated selection of teas that are sure to warm you up throughout December, and she’s even thrown in a bonus gift in celebration of their 25th anniversary this year. It’s honestly so good that you might want to grab a box for yourself too: enjoy a cup of cheer each day of the holiday season.

Here’s some weeknight dinner inspiration, featuring veggies from Havaris Produce, prepared foods from Glenda’s, and sourdough from Culbert’s Bakery. Our market tote bag contains all the goods you’d need to make fettucine primavera and garlic bread! The Market is your one-stop-shop for the best of the best from local farms and family-owned businesses. Check out the next segment for an opportunity to show off your cooking skills!

With the start of cozy season, we’re excited to bring home ingredients from the market to incorporate into our own home cooking. Tag us on Instagram and Facebook with your favourite finds from the Market for a chance to be featured on our social media: show off your cooking skills and inspire others in your community to do the same! We’d love to see what you’re making, whether it’s an easy weeknight dinner for the family or an intricate dish to bring to glamorous holiday parties.

Every Sunday here at the market, we host Sampling Sundays, a chance to try delicious bites from different vendors. Whether it’s your first time tasting or a reminder of how good it really is, it’s the perfect way to explore what’s local and tasty! This Sunday, we’re featuring: drip coffee from Hasbeans.

Step into the world of sourdough with an immersive, hands-on workshop designed to help you finally “get it.” Whether you’ve struggled before or are starting fresh, this experience blends skill-building with a whole lot of fun.

Together, we’ll walk through each step of the process, so you leave not only with knowledge, but with your very own dough ready to bake at home. You’ll also leave with a live starter, a mason jar with spatula for feeding, a danish whisk and my exclusive Student Guide.

✨ What makes this experience special?

• A welcoming, lighthearted environment where learning is fun and approachable.

• Hands-on practice so you truly understand the process, not just watch it.

• The chance to begin a new, soul-nourishing hobby that feels as good as it tastes.

This isn’t just a bread-making class—it’s a chance to connect, laugh, and discover the simple joy of creating something nourishing with your own two hands.

💡 What you need to bring:
Bring your own mixing bowl (keeps things simple + comfortable).

All ingredients and tools are supplied for you.

FREE BONUS: My exclusive 26-page Sourdough Made Simple E-Book (valued at $47), FREE with your workshop. It’s the same resource I sell alongside my starter kits, and it gives you all the detailed info you’ll need to confidently keep baking at home.

*Optional add-on kits may be available at the workshop (proofing baskets, scoring tools etc)
