Save our Alta Vista vegetable stand Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/save-our-alta-vista-vegetable-stand.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 17 Apr 2026 02:52 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Anne Gribbon [Signature #502] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/19073869?utm_medium=rss I'm confused by the city of Ottawa's decision regarding the Foster Family Farm stand in Alta Vista, which provided a community with easy access to fresh, locally grown produce, and yet it is spending significant moneys to narrow Main street to provide more of a community feeling.

The market stand provided a very needed service of access to fresh local produce without having to travel by car and should be permitted to remain in the parking lot of Rideau Park United.

Our farmers should have access to places to connect with people. Members of Council support our local farmers. This should be a no-brainer. Change is needed to allow hard working farmers like Mel Foster to support his family and mine.

It is rather a common faith action of a Church stepping closer in right relations with neighbours: bringing rural and urban Ottawan's together. To require it to be removed it simply be a shameful accommodating of one complaint resulting in more systematized urban snobbery.
