It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Duff’s passing last weekend. Duff was a compassionate, friendly and resilient member of the Downtown communit...y. He spread his humour and kindness to anyone and everyone, and encouraged others to see the humanity and value in those most marginalized in our community. Duff was always willing to spark a conversation with strangers - so, in memory and honour of him, say hello or good morning to a stranger this week. Show kindness when someone least expects it. Visit Queen Street Commons Cafe, a place he loved and frequented. Or donate to The Working Centre, an organization that offered him, and so many others, unwavering support and love during the most difficult times in life. For upcoming information on a celebration of life, visit The Working Centre’s Facebook page.

This weekend, our Community Market will include a number of visual artists with work for sale! We also have a new hot chocolate recipe we'd love your opinion on...

Have you tried our newest sandwich? We call it the smash. #becauseitssmashing

Better late than never! #everyseasonispopsicleseason #housemade

Come in for a glass of our house-made kombucha, flavoured with Appleflats crabapple syrup! #sweetandsour

We call these "galette", but I'm not sure they fit the traditional definition. They might be better called crispy-dough-wrapped-around-stuff-that-tastes-good, but that's too long to write on our menu. #galette #whocareswhatwecallitanyway #ittastesgood

Now that you've had the morning to go to the market, eat a good breakfast and sip an iced coffee, why not put your feet up with Episode 15 featuring Dan Zuccala..., Self-Employment Coach from the working centre for a great chat about the zig-zags we take to finding our passion, learning on the job and things to look out for as a self-employed human! http://bit.ly/MCP-Episode15 This one is HOT, HOT, HOT. Big thank you to Dan for taking the time to chat with us! :)
