Family Fun Day
Peak of the Market would like to thank the thousands of people who have attended our Family Fun Day over the last 20+ years. Together, we raised over $125,000 for Manitoba charities.

Farm to School Fundraiser
It is with a heavy heart, we are announcing that the Farm to School Fundraiser will be cancelled for 2020.
We are making this necessary decision due to the current health concerns related to the global COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on schools and daycares. Protecting the health, safety and well-being of students, staff and volunteers is priority, and serves as the reason for our decision to cancel the fundraiser for the first time.
We feel confident that the Farm to School Fundraiser will resume in 2021. In the meantime, we wish everyone good health.
