Sally Ann to get former Surrey Public Market

Whatever happened to the old Surrey Public Market. The previous one…..I remember as a kid it wasn’t fancy but was it ever popular. What surrey needs is a place that encourages health, wealth and beauty. What about a “Surrey Village” there are so many residence already who says that they couldn’t use another marketplace? A marketplace that is quaint, beautiful log cabin in the woods feel, full of festivals and arts to support a thriving community. Nothing overly commercial. What about putting a community garden in place with fruit trees to feed. Restaurants with herb gardens in the back yard. Fountains kids can play in, and story time. Something that has the feel of the Burnaby museum. Have you ever been there? All the staff there are friendly, warm and engaging. A fair marketplace with fruits and veggies fairly priced. Free yoga in the court yard in the summer. A meca for a "homey" community...something to bring back the community's culture that was lost a long time ago back. Sounds like a big task but wouldn't it be worth it. The community would work together volunteering to help build and promote.

It is so sad that the "new and improved" Public market flopped. The old one did great despite it all until the new building came up. What happened? Was it greed from the owner as I herd or was it the fear of the led contaminated soil? Cloverdale paint use to be on this site and there maybe some issues with the soil but what ever it is I supported the construction of the new market and have mixed feelings about the failure of it.

Best of luck Sally!
