A Message to our Vendors:
The Summerland Rotary Sunday
Market committee hopes each one of you is staying safe and healthy during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
At this time and after reviewing
the linked media release (March 26th, 2020) from the BC Centre for
Disease Control at http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/community-settings/farmers-markets the Rotary Club of Summerland has
determined that it would not be able to host the Summerland Sunday Market under
the current COVID-19 rigid restrictions.
Specifically.
- discontinuing
all food sampling
- cancelling
activities that promote gatherings
- not
allowed to sell crafts and artisan products
- limit
entry to allow for physical distancing
However, we remain hopeful that before May 30th
(nine + weeks from now) these conditions may be lifted in which case, our
Market could start by our scheduled opening date of June 21, 2020.
The Summerland Rotary Sunday Market committee
will keep you updated on any decisions that are made between now and May 30th
that would affect yourselves and the operation of the Market for the 2020
season.
Please contact me by return email if you have
further questions.
Take care and stay safe
Linda Van Alphen
Market Manager
