OTTAWA -- Farmers markets will be allowed to open in Ottawa this summer. Mayor Jim Watson says the City of Ottawa is working with the Ottawa Farmers’ Market organization and Ottawa Public Health to come up with a plan to allow markets to open, including at Lansdowne.

Watson told reporters that organizers will need to have a plan to encourage physical distancing at the market. “We very much want to see the market go ahead.
