City Council Meeting: Kitchener Market Discussion

During public remarks, Milorad of Bolero Juices described the Kitchener Market as a multigenerational community gathering place. He said his business depends on other market vendors, students from Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute have continued visiting the market as adults, and vendors have developed relationships over decades.

Topics Discussed

• MARKET VENDOR NETWORK: Milorad said Bolero Juices purchases its ingredients from other market vendors. "I'm buying everything from market vendors and then fresh juices squeezing right away."

• MULTIGENERATIONAL COMMUNITY ROLE: Milorad said students from Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute have visited the market for about 20 years and continue returning as adults with their children. "Those kids from Cameron School, they're coming last 20 years and even after they finish school, they're going to start to come when they grow up and get married and bringing kids."

• VENDOR COMMUNITY: Milorad described the relationships among market vendors as familial. "We are all like family. We know each other for 20 years, so I spend more time with vendors here than with my family."
