Junior Market

Greater Vancouver Chamber’s Junior Market is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1 at the Vancouver Farmers Market.  More than 300 young entrepreneurs will be stationed near Esther Short Park to sell their handmade and homegrown products such as artwork, jewelry, hand creams, birdhouses and organic produce. Participants will submit their business results to the Greater Vancouver Chamber at the end of the day for a chance to be recognized as the Vancouver Youth Entrepreneur of the Year. Participants split the profits between charities and their own bottom line. The Junior Market is the culmination of the Lemonade Day program, an initiative aimed to inspire entrepreneurs aged 6 to 16 by to learn business operations, responsibility, financial literacy, goal setting and teamwork.
