In the Beginning July 2022

"On February 1, 2022, Dale and Angela Homewood, along with Gerry Hensels and Lorraine McElroy bought the Central Elgin Fire Hall, with plans for a market, and a luxury apartment. 

The local owners transformed the two parking bays for fire engines into a vibrant artisan market and five months later, the food and beverage market opened for business on Canada Day weekend.

From tourists to residents, those visiting the new Fire Hall Market described opening weekend as "bringing new life into the village."

The market commemorates the former Fire Hall use, with the front doors preserved on the patio, fire hall memorabilia hanging in the market  and a large market clock like you would see in an old European market.

Inside you'll find bistro tables and outside a  patio on the front driveway for market customers to sit and enjoy the local flavours in the heart of the village of Port Stanley!
