Wear2Start Winter Market | Celebrating 25 Years of Confidence
Meet Our Winter Market Vendors
We are excited to welcome an incredible group of local makers, artists, creators and small businesses to the Wear2Start Winter Market, taking place November 14 and 15, 2026, at the James Bay Community School Centre.
Each vendor brings something special to the market, from handcrafted gifts and locally made products to unique creations you may not find anywhere else. This meaningful weekend is an opportunity to shop locally, connect with our community and find something special for everyone on your holiday list.
As part of Wear2Start’s 25 Years of Confidence celebration, the Winter Market will also raise vital funds for programs that support self-identified women and gender-diverse individuals as they take their next steps toward employment, stability and well-being.
We are proud to highlight the wonderful vendors joining us. Explore their profiles below and start planning your Winter Market shopping!
