St. Lawrence Market North, Public market hall in Toronto, Canada.
St. Lawrence Market North is a multi-story market hall in Toronto with a glass atrium, retail spaces, municipal courts, and parking below. The building combines traditional market functions with offices and services in a single structure.
The site has functioned as a market since 1803, when it first became a gathering place for the community. The original building was replaced in 1968 with the current structure that continues this long tradition.
The Saturday Farmers Market draws together local producers, artisans, and residents who gather to buy fresh goods and connect with neighbors. It serves as a place where the community meets regularly and shares what they make or grow.
The building has multiple entrances and clear pathways for moving between levels and spaces. During the Christmas season from mid-November onward, seasonal items like trees and decorations become available, making this an especially busy time to visit.
During reconstruction work, diggers uncovered nineteenth-century artifacts beneath the building, including pieces of old sewers, metal tools, and broken ceramics. These discoveries reveal layers of daily life from Toronto's earlier times lying just below the surface.
