SYDNEY, N.S. — More than $30,000 of Heather Day's craft jewelry, plus $18,000 in other important supplies, has been locked behind closed doors for three straight weeks.

That could change soon, as a lawyer involved in the lockout said on Tuesday a resolution to the dispute was close. 'It's silliness': Cape Breton Farmers' Market vendors' property still locked away days into landlord disputeGetting their own lawyer, Day said, is also a way to receive protection in what she likened to a “messy divorce” between market management and the landlords. She said such legal representation would be on behalf of all the vendors.

“They’re a struggle,” said MacNeil of how she’s been handling the market closure. “I have people reaching out to me wanting to shop for birthdays coming up, for Father’s Day or different occasions, and I’m not really able to help them.” “It isn’t great. I don’t want to have to make all that product again. That’s a lot of beachcombing and time making the product. It has me behind the eight-ball for the whole season now.”

With that, Tony Mozvik told the Post on Tuesday the sides are now “pretty close to getting things resolved.” He said the proposed resolution includes an offer to allow vendors to retrieve their property — and maybe a market reopening altogether.
