From December 14–16, 2025, our JA Company Program students will be showcasing their entrepreneurial skills at the Shipyards Christmas Market in North Vancouver, BC.
For their pop up shop, these talented young entrepreneurs have developed a variety of unique products, from handmade crafts to innovative creations, and they’d love your support!
Visit them at Booth #95 between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. to shop, connect, and celebrate their hard work. Learn more about the full market and location at shipyardschristmasmarket.com
Your support helps these students gain real-world business experience, build confidence, and develop essential financial literacy skills. By attending the Shipyards Christmas Market, you’re not only enjoying festive shopping in North Vancouver but also helping young entrepreneurs succeed in their first business ventures.
Plus, when you shop with our student vendors, you are giving back.
Ten percent of all proceeds will be donated to JA British Columbia to help support the delivery of programs to youth across the province.
You will also find a Giving Tree on-site if you would like to make a direct contribution, and JABC staff will be available over these three days to answer any questions about getting involved, including volunteering.
