Nelson Farmers Market is now under control of the city through the Nelson and District Youth Centre.
A possible return of the Nelson Farmer’s Market to Baker Street on Wednesday and the future role of founding organization West Kootenay EcoSociety are questions left unanswered as the new market season has begun.

The project location is on lands that are not zoned for the purpose of “ship building,” therefore, a temporary use permit (TUP) is required.

Coun. Janice Morrison, the city’s representative on the regional district board of directors, said the city needed to notify the regional district that it would be participating in the organics diversion program at the soon-to-be constructed Central Compost Facility, based on the conditions that council had previously submitted.
A curbside composting program is going ahead in Nelson and the city is also throwing its hat into the ring for the regional district’s organics diversion program.
City council decided to begin its own program for composting but, unlike earlier indications at the regional level, was in favour of the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Organics Waste Diversion Strategy.
