The market was opened in 1933 by Mayor Camillien Houde.It started in a small building.
It could be accessed from the North or the South end of the market.It used to be a playing field.
Citizens from neighbouring parishes were its clientele in the beginning.It changed when it was growing
and everyone started to love the fresh fruits and the vegetables the vendors brought to sell.There were Italian
Canadians who were familiar with the open markets,who gave it it a particular European flavour.
Now the small market has grown into
a very large place.Besides fruits and vegetables.there are lot of shops
where we can buy variety of food.
My favourite was the fresh vegetables and fruit.I liked the juice stand where the fresh juice was made in front
of us.I loved the mango juice the most.I have taken some pictures of some of the stalls that really look attractive.
