It's a time-honoured Saint John event that won't be happening this year.
We've received word that the Canada Day Flea has been called off this year, with the those behind it citing liability issues. According to organizer Colleen Hatfield, they were unsure if they would be able to comply with the new guidelines set up by the city and so decided not to have it at all.
Hatfield says she's disappointed but she understands. A flea market will be held on Sunday inside and outside of Exhibition Park instead. This would have been the 26th year of the flea market in the uptown.
