The Ottawa Farmers' Market is warning the city that its growth could be threatened by plans to redevelop Lansdowne Park.

The president of the Ottawa Farmers' Market says plans to expand the market at Lansdowne Park don't fit in with the Lansdowne Live proposal.

"We would be located where we presently are, in a portion of where we are now -- the Horticulture building and the space between the Horticulture building and the canal. The issue there is that we split the market in three, which tends to divide the market and kill it," said Andy Terauds on Monday.

The Ottawa Farmers' Market wants to become a permanent year-round market. It also plans to add vendors and shift its operation to the Cattle Castle.
