There was a local market in Duncan, on Saturday morning, that we took in, before the crowds came. Visitors to the park are greeted by this old steam train that was hauling logs in the forests of Vancouver Island many years ago. The market was interesting because there was nothing there being displayed or sold that was not locally grown or produced. Art, produce, jewellery, soap, soup mix, and baking were all products of Duncan and I believe supporting this kind of enterprise is a good thing. There is a movement to buy locally and I believe it will catch on more as the costs of transporting goods will steadily increase. I believe the term is not herbivores, not carnivores, but localvores. It makes good sense for us and for our local economy.
