Applications are OPEN. Spots are LIMITED. And they go FAST. 🚨🌟

Kid Vendor Applications for the BizKids Winter Market are still open — but specific product categories are already selling out, and every day that passes is a day closer to your child's category being full. 🌟

So here is your reminder of exactly what your child is applying for:
A vendor table at the BizKids Winter Market on November 28th, 2026 at The City of Lougheed Mall — where they will independently run their own business in front of 10,000+ attendees. 🚀

No parents. No adults. No one running the show but them. Just your child — ages 7 to 16 — selling their own products, engaging with real customers, and doing the real thing in front of one of the biggest community audiences of the year. 💪

10,000+ people. Families. Community members. Shoppers ready to discover and support the next generation of young entrepreneurs. And your child — standing behind their table, running their business, and proving to themselves and everyone watching exactly what they are capable of. 🤩

This is not just a market experience. This is also a valuable learning moment that follows your child way after the event. And applications are still open right now. ✨

👉 Do not wait — apply today!

What if kids could take on real-world projects while learning? 🤔

That is exactly what thousands of kids are about to get the chance to do — because BizKids is prepping the Canadian Future-Ready Education Grant (CFREG) program materials for the fall of 2026! 🤩

From coast to coast, in cities large and small, in communities and sectors that deserve so much more access to quality programming — we are bringing future-ready entrepreneurship education to our community partners, who are stepping up to deliver them directly to youth all across Canada. And we could not be more thrilled. 💛

And the skills children learn from this? They are real. They are practical. And they are life-changing.

🚀 Entrepreneurship — turning ideas into real businesses
💻 Digital Literacy — navigating and creating in the digital world
💰 Financial Literacy — understanding money, value, and how to build wealth
🗣️ Public Speaking — finding their voice and using it with confidence

Free. In person. Accessible. Delivered right into the heart of communities across the country. 🧡

Stay tuned this fall — every single announcement is going to be worth celebrating. 👀

Sometimes the best way to understand something is to hear it straight from the children who have lived it. 🎥

💬 In their own words, children who became entrepreneurs through the BizKids Markets are sharing what made it unlike anything they have ever experienced before.

Because this is not a typical program. There are no tests. No memorisation. No theory without context.

Instead, children aged 7 to 16 step into real entrepreneurial experience — developing skills through a hands-on experience:
🛠️ Setting up a real business — from idea to launch, children experience every step of building something that is truly theirs
📣 Marketing — understanding how to position and communicate the value of what they offer
🎤 Pitching — developing the confidence to stand in front of others and make people believe in their idea

These are the skills that most people don’t encounter until university or their first professional role, while your child is building them right now — at an age when it gives them a head start that follows them for life — in school, in their careers, and in every room they walk into for the rest of their lives. 🚀

Want to give your child this experience? Kid Vendor applications are still open! Go apply now as spots are limited.

Still on the fence about applying for the BizKids Winter Market? Let these parents’ words change your mind. 🌟
The parents in this video have already watched their children go through the BizKids Market experience — and what they share is something every parent needs to hear. ❤️

They talked about curiosity — about how this experience gives children a real, exciting space to explore their interests and ask the questions that matter most to them. What can I make? What can I build? What happens if I try? The BizKids Market does not just answer those questions. It gives children the tools to find out for themselves. 🔍

They talked about passion — about watching their child take an idea they had been sitting on, something they genuinely loved, and turn it into a real product, a real brand, and a real business. The moment a child realises their passion has value — that other people want what they have created — is a moment that changes everything. 💪

They talked about community — A room full of parents, attendees, organisers, and supporters — who all genuinely want every single kidpreneur to succeed. A community that cheers, encourages, and lifts young entrepreneurs up every step of the way. 🙌

And they talked about confidence — about watching a shy child find their voice, step up to a stranger, and discover that they have something worth saying. The public speaking skills, the communication, the self-belief that grows from running a real business in front of real customers — these are skills that last a lifetime. 🚀

This is what the BizKids Winter Market does for a kidpreneur. And your child could be one of them experiencing the same thing firsthand. 🤩

Do not just take our word for it. Listen to theirs. ✨

The brands that show up for the next generation are the brands that communities never forget. 🌟

🙌 ❄️ The BizKids Winter Market on November 28th, 2026 at The City of Lougheed Mall is one of those moments — and we are seeking Event Partner Sponsors who want to be a genuine part of it.

On market day, something remarkable unfolds. Young entrepreneurs — some as young as 7 years old — show up having spent weeks building a product, designing a brand, and preparing to sell it to complete strangers. No parents behind the table. No adults running the show. Just a child, their creation, and the courage to put it in front of the world. 🌎

And every sponsor who shows up alongside them becomes a part of that story. 💛

Your sponsorship doesn’t only make your brand visible in front of 20,000+ attendees. This is a genuine investment in the next generation — in individual youth who are building something real, in families who will never forget the brand that showed up for their child, and in a community that gathers around something that makes everyone feel genuinely good. 💪

That is the kind of impact that lasts long after market day is over. Become a part of a young entrepreneur’s story today. 🤝

Greater accessibility. For every child. No matter where they live or what community they call home. 🌟

That has always been at the heart of what BizKids is working toward. And today, we are so excited and honoured to share that we have welcomed our very first Indigenous community, Frog Lake Education Authority into our community partner network to run BizKids programs. 🙌

But we also want to share something that matters just as much as the announcement: the physical package going out to this community looks completely different from everything else we send. And that is the whole point. 📦

Reaching children with different lived experiences and different needs means accepting that you cannot do things the same way everywhere. Real accessibility is not about showing up with the same solution for everyone. It is about listening.

It is about listening.
Learning.
Asking the right questions.
And having the right partners who help you understand how to truly be of service. 💪

We are so grateful to Bears' Lair Dream Camps for helping us do this the right way. And to TELUS Friendly Future Foundation whose support made creating this special program possible. 🧡

We are so proud of what this first step represents — not just for the Indigenous youth who will go through this program, but for how BizKids will continue to grow and serve every community we enter. 🌱

Another BizKids documentary has been filmed and is heading to the editing room.

But this one’s pretty special
Because it’s a part of BizKids roots

Matthew was a part of our very first BizKids market back in 2018
He was only 10 years old
He started Matthew’s Magical Marvels
He sold Harry Potter inspired one of a kind magic wand

It was a huge success

But he wasn’t done

Matthew came back again in 2019 to take our entrepreneur program again
He decided to keep running the same business
But this time he took what he learned to make it better
He learned about upsell so he made cases to go with his magic wands
He learned about creating a product line and so he made pencils that looks like magic wands
He learned about merchandising and built his own custom magic wand displays
And he launched again at a second BizKids market

It did even better than the first time

And he kept building it,
He went to other markets
He was even discovered by a magic store who wanted to start selling his magic wands in their store
He kept going

Now Matthew has graduated high school and he’s decided that now is the time to pack it in so he can focus on the next chapter of his professional development

I can’t wait to see how his documentary comes together as we learn more about what it’s meant to him to build his own business and what he’s looking forward to next

Guess who's coming to PEI & Saskatchewan? 🇨🇦

We're not naming names just yet — but let's just say some very exciting community partners in two brand new provinces are about to bring BizKids programming to youth in their own backyards. And we could not be more thrilled. 🌟📦

From our home base in British Columbia, BizKids has been growing nonstop — province by province, community by community, one box of materials at a time. And now? PEI and Saskatchewan are joining the family. 🚀💛

Here is a little teaser of what young people in these communities are about to get their hands on:
🚀 Entrepreneurship — spotting opportunities and building something real from the ground up
💻 Digital Literacy — the skills to thrive, create, and lead in a digital world
💰 Financial Literacy — building a healthy, confident relationship with money from an early age
🗣️ Public Speaking — communicating ideas clearly, confidently, and with real impact

All free. All in person. All coming to a community near you. ✨

Stay tuned for the community partner reveals — coming this fall! 👀🔥

Applications officially opened yesterday. 2 hours later — 15 applications already in. 🔥🌟

Kid Vendor Applications for the BizKids Winter Market opened yesterday’s morning — and the response has been absolutely incredible! 🤩

These are kids who have been waiting for this. Some have been to our markets before and cannot wait to come back. Some missed out last time and have been watching carefully for applications to open. And some know their product category fills up fast — so they take initiative in applying as soon as possible. 💪

That is the kind of community we have built around these markets. Young entrepreneurs who care deeply enough about this opportunity to show up the moment the door opens. And we are absolutely over the moon about it! 💛

If your child has been wanting to join us at the BizKids Winter Market on November 28th at The City of Lougheed Mall, today is the day to apply. Not tomorrow. Not this weekend. Today. ⏰

And if your child is not quite ready yet — if they have a great idea but need a bit more confidence, support, or practice before they are ready to launch — the Launch Your Business programme is the perfect place to start. Self-paced, at-home, and designed to walk kids ages 7–13 through every step of building a real business. 💼

We are so thrilled by the response this morning. We can’t wait to see everyone in the market. ✨
