We started off the week with a trip to the St. Norbert Farmers' Market. Here, local produced can sell their fares. There are all sorts of fruits, vegetables and plants but, there is also all sorts of crafters as well; from jewellry, to furniture.
The kids enjoyed walking around watching the variety of buskers located throughout the grounds, and we even got a balloon from Floyd the Clown. We grabbed lunch at one of many of the food carts and sat at the picnic tables at centre stage.
While there, visit the historic St. Norbert Place, and for the kids, behind parking lot 2, there is a playground and on a hot day, you can visit the splash pad at the St. Norbert Community Centre.

On Canada Day, we had our annual trip to Assiniboia Downs, located at Portage Avenue and the perimeter highway. Our tradition includes the buffet in the restaurant in the upper level. Besides an assortment of delicious food, you get tableside betting.
On the main level, there are all sorts of family friendly things to do. On holidays and a selection of Sundays, there are a petting zoo, inflatables and pony rides. The shaded play structure is an added bonus.
Sunday post time is 1pm.
