Celebrate mothers with delicious sweets and savoury treats along with hand-blended teas. This event sells out fast, so buy your ticket ASAP.

• Coquitlam Farmers Market, located in the parking lot at Dogwood Pavilion (1655 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam) will honour moms with a Mother’s Day tent where moms can stop in to get their free macarons and help themselves to a free coffee (while supplies last). The market will also be doing a giveaway for Mother’s Day, details TBA. For more information, go to makebakegrow.com.

NOT JUST FOR MOMS
• While this event on May 11 is not strictly a Mother’s Day event, there’s nothing stopping you from taking your mom to the annual spring tea at St. John’s Anglican Church (2206 St. Johns St., Port Moody; downstairs in the church hall, enter from rear) from 2 to 4 p.m. Enjoy delicious pie and ice cream and a beverage for $5. There will also be baking, crafts, jewellery and plant tables. Parking at the back and the side of the church. Tickets at the door.
