Did you know? ByWard is written as a single word with
a 'W' capital…
Here is a brief history on ByWard Market grammar. Technically,
the ByWard origin was in two words: By Ward. It is a proper
name referring to the constituency or "electoral"
where Lieutenant-Colonel John By founded the market in 1826.
The City of Ottawa preferred spelling By Ward to the Business
Improvement Area (BIA) of Byward Market and as of 1990, the
BIA and the City of Ottawa have agreed ByWard as the official
spelling. It has retained the 'W' capital to ByWard in reference
to Colonel By.

The 100 Mile Diet in
the ByWard Market
There’s been a lot of buzz about the 100 Mile Diet. The
idea is to eat only food that has been produced within 100 miles
of where you live. The benefits include reducing green house gases
because food isn’t transported thousands of miles from where
it grew, a strengthened local economy as area farmers benefit
from increased purchases and, because far fewer processed and
sugary foods are eaten, many followers of this eating plan also
report a substantial weight loss.
