A map of the market area for Saturday Oct 11th, 2025. The bottom of the right column contains special notices; it says, β€œOut of the Cold Winter Clothing Drive, Happy Thanksgiving!” The 3 columns of the map show: left is for the north side of 200 block St Paul Street; middle is for vendors on the south side of St Paul Street; the right column lists the vendors in the Stuart Wood Schoolyard.  A legend under the left column notes: black type = agricultural vendors; purple type = prepared food vendors; green type = craft & home business vendors;  & red type = community groups.  Under the centre column is the Kamloops Farmers’ Market name and logo.

A photo of several bikes parked at the Saturday market bike valet in 2024. Text says β€œThank you, City of Kamloops & Tourism Kamloops.  Free Bike Valet at the Saturday market, 8:30 - 12:30 in the schoolyard, May 10 to October 25th!” On the left side of the image says, β€œPopUp Valet Extended.” KFM logo is in the bottom right corner.

At the top of the image is a screen capture from Google Maps  of the North Shore.  The Mount Paul Community Food Centre is a little higher than the centre of the image, where a large curved arrow extends from it, to text below which says, β€œ2025 Indoor Winter Market Location!” A small arrow points from it to a QR code which has text above it noting it’s a Google Map Link. In smaller text next to a map marker is, β€œMount Paul Community Food Centre, 140 Laburnum Street, on the North Shore.”  Below it next to a clock symbol it says, β€œSaturdays, Nov 1 to Apr 11, 10 AM to 2 PM (no markets during midwinter break Dec 27 to Jan 3)” and β€œWhat will you find at market?  In season produce, sausages, bacon, preserves, eggs, honey, baked goods, unique handmade crafts, and more”.  At the bottom are the social media links for the KFM, and in the lower right corner is the KFM rooster logo.

Choose Canada - Canada.ca Choose Canada in every way, especially when you buy, travel, celebrate, cheer on, explore, and adventure.

Ohhh πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ came to play. The government just dropped a new site to help folks Choose Canadian, from what we buy to who we support.

This isn’t just patriotic, it’s practical. Jobs, community, culture.
