Gift wrapping service at the Nov 7 market!

Hi RRFM folks!
A special service will be available at our November 7th market: gift wrapping! Bring your own wrapping paper and a few RRFM volunteers will be happy to wrap up to two gifts per person (maybe more during quiet periods). Perhaps you will find a gift at the market but also feel free to bring something from home to be wrapped. See you then!

Another RRFM in Toronto: the North York Really Really Free Market!

Exciting news, free marketers: another Really Really Free Market (RRFM) is about to happen in Toronto! It looks like it might turn into a regular market, taking place approximately four times a year.

The North York Really Really Free Market has just received permission to operate at the Driftwood Community Centre (4401 Jane St, north of Jane and Finch) on Saturday, November 21st.

If you live in North York or don't mind traveling there, then please check out the market that day. Note that the North York RRFM, like all such markets, is independent of other RRFM's, and is not affiliated with ours that takes place at Campbell Park. However, since we support all Really Really Free Markets, you might see some familiar volunteers from the Campbell Park scene.

The good news for you is that there are at least two Really Really Free Markets in November: ours at Campbell Park on November 7th, and the one in North York at Driftwood Community Centre on November 21st. Hope you make it to both!

**Keep in mind also that our market will go into a winter hiatus after the November market. Don't miss it!!! **

Locate Campbell Avenue Park on Google maps.
Or visit here to find more about the park.

What is a Really Really Free Market?

A Really Really Free Market is a community-space for sharing – where people bring what they have to give, take what they need. But it's not swapping or trading. It’s kind of like a potluck, but for goods and services--but with an important difference: You don't need to bring anything to take something.

Please check facebook and signs at the market or ask information desk volunteers for quantity limits and visit (time) limits.

Please bring items in boxes, small bags or large clear bags. Use of black garbage bags is discouraged, since we cannot see what is inside the bag when it is handed to us; also we cannot recycle black garbage bags.
