Though their website (which still says the Antique Market is open) does not say anything; there are finally signs up reminding us that the St Lawrence Market is open on Sundays starting NEXT SUNDAY, 31 July!
If you wait long enough for the banner to scroll through, the new hours are shown. But as you pointed out, no one has bothered to change the info on the page.Though their website (which still says the Antique Market is open) does not say anything; there are finally signs up reminding us that the St Lawrence Market is open on Sundays starting NEXT SUNDAY, 31 July!

EEK. I was just speculating. Sorry for creating confusion.What are you talking about? There has been no suggestion that the 501 streetcars will not return to Queen between Victoria and York once the OL excavations are over.
Church has had streetcar overhead for MANY decades from Wellington to Carleton, most has already been upgraded for pantographs. The tracks north of King are part of several quite regular diversions and short turns. As noted above, the westbound streetcar tracks on Wellington are being replaced and the 503 will then return to its regular route.
The two-hour disparity of hours on Saturday morning between the Farmer's market and the main building is an unfortunate decision.Though it is hard to believe that this expansion of hours is not universally welcomed by customers (and many merchants) I hear there is an email campaign to stop it. If you like the new hours (or have other comments) you may want to email the Mayor Mayor Tory <Mayor_Tory@toronto.ca> and/or the Market Manager - Daniel Picheca <Daniel.Picheca@toronto.ca>

I agree, I think the earlyness of the start was a function of a different time; I know some people love the tradition.........but I think for the majority of customers, pushing back the start of the Farmer's market to 7am, and then running it til 3pm would be fine.
I would add, I wouldn't object if they went longer on the Saturday, but I doubt it would materially change their sales, so I'd be fine w/the 3pm wrap-up.
Though I do not often get to the Saturday Market before 7am, on the few occasions I have been there earlier it is surprising how popular it is. The farmers tell me they like the early start so that they can finish by 3 and get back home again.Even the Farmers Market at St Jacobs only opens at 7 am.
I do not want to know the kind of people who wake up early to be at a farmers market for 5 am. That is a special level of a dedication (and possible other issues).
