Wear2Start Winter Market | Celebrating 25 Years of Confidence

Wear2Start is excited to announce the Wear2Start Winter Market, taking place November 14 & 15, 2026 at the
James Bay Community School Centre.

This special two-day indoor winter market is part of our 25 Years of Confidence celebration.
The event will bring together local makers, community members, and supporters in a welcoming space that reflects the values at the heart of Wear2Start:
dignity, confidence, community, and empowerment.

The market is intentionally designed to prioritize and support
self-identified women and gender-diverse individuals in our community.

Proceeds from the event will directly support Wear2Start’s programs, which help individuals move toward
employment, stability, and wellbeing.
