New West Craft Summer Market

Saturday, July 4 will mark the first in-person artisan market for New West Craft since March 7.
New West Craft has been a familiar summer site on the boardwalk at River Market for the past 5 years, but due to physical distancing requirements the market is unable to set up on the esplanade at this time. New West Craft will be making a temporary move to Tipperary Park.
As per provincial guidelines, 50 people will be let into the market space at a time and 2-meter physical distancing will be enforced.
Come out and support over 25 artisans, makers and small business owners – food trucks included!
Faces of the Fraser with Fernando Lessa
01:30pm -04:00pm
The FRDC invites you to join us online on September 12th, 1:30-3:00pm, for a digital presentation and talk by photographer and "outdoor storyteller" Fernando Lessa!
Fernando Lessa combines his skills as a photographer with a passion for outdoor activities and the natural world to document the important relationships between humankind and nature.
Fernando will be presenting his project “The Heart of the Fraser”, a photography series collected into a book through his collaboration with the BCIT Rivers Institute’s Ken Ashley. This work is a beautiful homage to the Lower Fraser River, featuring breathtaking views of the river and the life it supports.
From majestic views of the Fraser delta to snapshots of Salmon travelling upriver to spawn, his presentation is sure to delight and inspire audiences of all ages! This session will conclude with a Q&A session.
Registration is free and includes a link to the Zoom meeting. We hope you will join us!
