The building continued to house the farmer's central market,[1] an increasingly multicultural mix of small vendors,[7] until it was closed in 1963 and slated for demolition.

However, the building was later transformed into a multi-purpose facility, with a mall that houses outdoor cafés, restaurants and boutiques on the main and second floors, as well as a rental hall and banquet rooms on the lower and upper floors and municipal office space.

Bonsecours Market was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984.

[8][9] On 28 May 1990 Canada Post issued 'Bonsecours Market, Montreal' designed by Raymond Bellemare.

The stamp features an image of the Bonsecours Market, which was designed by Montreal architect William Footner and constructed from 1842 to 1845.
