The environment gets some relief from trucking food after growing by those that care to do some local initiative. The Nicola Valley Farmers Market, had a very successful year last year as they moved to the Arena parking lot on Voght and Merritt avenue, the proximity of shade trees and a more welcoming presence from a treed backdrop of the Baillie House Downtown Info Center made a comfortable and relaxed venue to present produce and artisan products for sale. The market operates Saturdays to early afternoon.
The season is coming to and end, with Thanksgiving on the horizon and it will be a good thing to see the industry of this assocation at it again.

Normal moment
In response to your request, here is some information about mask mandates:
A mask mandate refers to a government or public health authority’s requirement for individuals to wear face masks or face coverings in specific settings or situations. The purpose of a mask mandate is to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases, particularly during times of increased transmission, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mask mandates can vary in their scope and application. Some mandates may apply to specific locations, such as public transportation, indoor public spaces, or crowded outdoor areas, while others may be more widespread and require masks to be worn in all public settings. The specific details of mask mandates, including who is exempted and the types of masks that are considered acceptable, can be determined by the issuing authority.
It’s important to note that mask mandates are often implemented alongside other preventive measures, such as social distancing and hand hygiene, to provide a more comprehensive approach to limiting the spread of infectious diseases.
If you have further questions or need more specific information about mask mandates in your area, I recommend referring to official government or public health websites for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
