Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Hillsboro Area

"The best market in British Columbia, this gigantic cornucopia of produce, edible goodies and locally made artworks lures everyone like a magnet on summer Saturdays.

Everything at both markets is made, baked or grown on the island."

Though I didn’t find anything I would purchase here, I thought it was nice because they had live music, and you could hang out by the waterfront.
