#WeLoveHV !
With COVID-19 restrictions, our annual Fall Fair had to be cancelled. However, we are pleased to announce new ways to celebrate our community and support our local businesses. These self-directed activities for different ages will get neighbours out exploring Harbord Village in a new way.
Wednesday Market Days are here again from 3 to 7 pm at the Bloor-Borden Green P lot. Seven farmers now bring fresh produce, using plans for socially-distanced pickup worked out by the Bloor-Borden Market Advisory Committee and Farmers Market Ontario.

You may have heard strange noises outside recently. Groups of neighbours step out on their porches or sidewalks every evening at 7:30pm (keeping the required 2-metre distance from each other) to bang on pots or make music. It’s a way of honouring the healthcare workers who put themselves at risk to keep us safe.
UPDATE: It was a great day! For photos, see the Sept. 10 eblast newsletter and the Fall Fair page.
