Savour the Market's food history at an exhibition of photographs, maps, art and artefacts highlighting the history of the St. Lawrence Market and neighbourhood — a food and shopping destination for over 200 years. Other topics including food production, Victory Gardens and community gardening will be featured.

Visitors will find out that in the 19th century, the public could buy bear meat, wild swan and deer with the antlers still attached, and that the first market on Front Street was a fish market selling salmon caught with spears by candle light. The exhibit will review how food production in the city has changed by touching on market gardening, Victory Gardens during two world wars, and local community garden projects. Recent efforts by government and community groups to re-connect neighbourhoods to affordable and sustainable food sources has reflected the public's heightened awareness of how they interact with, and are affected by, their food.
