The ByWard Market
Refreshing A Local Tradition
Ottawa, it’s time to rediscover the gem that’s right
here in your neighbourhood - the ByWard Market. It’s one of
a kind! Established by Lt-Colonel John By in 1826, it is one of
Canada’s oldest and largest outdoor markets. No other city
in North America can boast an urban space so rich in history, commerce,
food and entertainment. No wonder the ByWard Market is Ottawa’s
#1 tourist attraction!
What is Refreshing A Local Tradition all about?
Refreshing A Local Tradition is a project
of renewal, a celebration of locally grown and produced food and
art & craft, aimed at bringing new life to Ottawa’s ByWard
Market. This important initiative was inspired by you -- Ottawa
area consumers and tourists who recognize the Market’s significant
contribution to the culture of our city.
You’ve told us you want to buy local, and
we’re responding.
The overwhelming majority of ByWard Market shoppers – residents
and tourists alike – have told us they want to ‘buy
local’ from the vendors who grew it themselves. Clearly, shoppers
like you understand the importance of supporting our local farmers,
and reducing the environmental impact of transporting goods from
thousands of miles away.
What does this mean for you?
Refreshing a Local Tradition is a win-win
proposition for everyone. You will continue to enjoy the Market’s
unique shopping experience, while being able to buy locally produced
goods from the people who produced them as well as imported products
from around the world.
