I have strong hopes that soon that will be changed. Like they used to have this wierd restiction that said farmers markets could only be open 16 days in the year (I know, crazy!!) but now they can be open more often and that means St. Norbert FM will be open till Halloween. Start your pumpkins now! Due to oddly restrictive farmers market laws in Manitoba Fresh eggs and milk are not to be found at the market. I have strong hopes that soon that will be changed.

Feels like you're in another town, but still within the Perimeter! :) You should try going to Transcona! Feels like you’re in another town, but still within the Perimeter! :)

Whether or not they're reading, after the week I've had with MPI-issued advice, I'm not too concerned with their thoughts on my Alberta plates. Ergo, when someone from outside Manitoba asks pointed, direct questions of MPI workers and receives false information, their faith in MPI somehow dwindles. But - what can you do? :P Hahaha…well, thanks for your concern Jeanette!

We just need a free Saturday, and by that I mean, a Saturday that I'm not working! :( Hmm...well I'm glad St. Norbert is part of Winnipeg, but I'm not glad in the sense that I was rather hoping to have the experience of leaving town without going too far! :) In that regard, it does feel like you're leaving the city once you've passed the Perimeter, doesn't it? Mr. Christian...c'mon! Only two bucks, and saved us so much time! It was well worth it, for sure. Emma…we’ll do it soon!

It's not a short drive south of the city, but rather to the southernmost part of the city. It does feel kinda like its own little town though, I'll grant you that.. :) Or did you mean, a short drive south past the Perimeter Highway? ;) This is usually an annual visit for me. Haven't been yet. Good to know that some farms have actually been able to bring produce to market with the weather we've been having!
