SYDNEY, N.S. — The manager of the Cape Breton Farmers’ Market hopes a resolution can be reached between the non-profit co-operative and its landlord to allow the operation to reopen.
A crowd is shown visiting the Cape Breton Farmers’ Market in pre-COVID-19 times. The market on Falmouth Street was locked up on Tuesday. CAPE BRETON POST FILE - CAPE BRETON POST FILE“We are not denying that we owe the back taxes. We absolutely do,” Singer added. “But the tax account is not in our name. It's in the landlord's name and we rely on them to send us an invoice as to what we owe. We wanted to sit down and come up with a way to pay these back.
“It was actually hand-delivered to one of our board members, the chair, and we responded to that letter two days later requesting a sit-down,” Singer said. “We never heard anything back.” “This has absolutely nothing to do with them. They just need to be given access to go and get their stuff. For a lot of these vendors, that's their full-time employment, their only source of income.”
The Post reached out to Dubinsky for comment, but he deferred the matter to his lawyer, Tony Mozvik of McInnes Cooper in Sydney.
